David complains about the hatred of his enemies. The wicked, and only such people would be enemies of a good man like him, had been lying in wait to destroy him. They were cruel and aimed at nothing less than his ruin. They were also crafty, looking for every chance to do him harm. Some understand the wording to mean that they were confident they would succeed, as if his downfall were certain.
He comforts himself with the word of God as his protection. While they were plotting his destruction, he was thinking about God’s testimonies, which secured his salvation. God’s testimonies are likely to support us when we consider them carefully and keep them in our thoughts.
