Psalms5:10

Verſ. 10. Deſtroy thou them, O God] Heb. Condemn them as guilty. They were Gods enemies no leſs than Davids, Tom. 8. in Enarr. [illegible: 1 letter]ujus precationis. and implacable, incorrigible: and hence hee ſo prayeth againſt them Eſt Prophetia, non malediction, ſaith Auſtin.

Let them fall by their own counſel;] As it befel Ahitophel, Haman, the Powder-Traitors. Or, let them fall from their own counſels, i.e. not be able to effect their evil deſigns, but defeated, fruſtrated.

Caſt them out, &c.] Let thoſe who were once a terrour, now be a ſcorn. for they are even ripe for ruine, as having added rebellion to their ſin, Job. 34.37.

For they have rebelled againſt thee] And ſo are more thine enemies than mine: which maketh me ſo earneſt againſt them, being ſwallowed up with a zeal of thy glory.
