John Trapp on Psalms 55:23

Verſ. 23. But thou O God ſhalt bring them down into the pit of deſtruction] Into the deep Gehenna, ſaith the Chaldee; thou ſhalt hurl them into Hell, from their lofty tops here.

Blondy and deceitful men ſhall not live out half their days] Heb. Shall not half their days; that is, ſhall be ſoon cut off, dye in the flower of their age, come to an untimely end;Ad generam Cexeris, &c. either the Sword in Battel, or the Sword of Juſtice ſhall cut them off; or ſome treachery of men, or their own intemperance, or Gods immediat hand ſhall make an end of them betimes, and before they come to the full age of a man, or before they have effected their evil deſigns (Luther rendreth it, Non dimidiabunt negotia) or before they are in fit caſe to dye, Tempore non ſuo, Eccleſ. 7.17. then when it were better for them to do any thing than to dye. Our Richard 3. and Queen Mary, reigned the ſhorteſt while of any other ſince the Conqueſt. Charls the Ninth of France, that bloudy Prince, dyed young, of a bloudy Diſeaſe, &c. Abſolom and Abitophel came to Tragical and unhappy ends; ſo did all the Primitive Perſecutors, thoſe cruel-crafties.

But I will truſt in thee] For ſafety here, and for Salvation hereafter.
