Commentary on Psalms 6:10

Theological / Devotional

Vexed. Heb. bahal, the word translated “vexed” in vs. 2, 3. The psalmist prays that his enemies—the enemies of God—may be confounded in their plans. It is proper to pray that the machinations of evil men may come to nought.

Suddenly. The sooner the plans of evil men are broken, the better. The psalmist prays that his enemies may turn back at the frustration of their hopes.

Ps. 6 should bring special comfort to the one who is afflicted with intense, seemingly incurable, physical or mental distress. “Prayer changes things.”
