Psalm 64:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

I am ridiculed by all my adversaries
and even by my neighbors.
I am dreaded by my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street run from me.

The righteous will look on with awe
and will ridicule him:

At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled because they thought, “The earth may swallow us too!”

When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers caught up with him and severely wounded him.

Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,
“Nineveh is devastated;
who will show sympathy to her?”
Where can I find anyone to comfort you?

Then I heard another voice from heaven:

Come out of her, My people,
so that you will not share in her sins
or receive any of her plagues.

They will vanish like water that flows by;
they will aim their useless arrows.

so they may know that this is Your hand
and that You, Lord, have done it.
