Theological / Devotional

Lest he. Perhaps Cush the Benjamite (see Introduction to Ps. 7).

Like a lion. The blind, unreasonable rage of the psalmist’s pursuer is compared to the instinctive fierceness of a lion. Shepherds and farmers in Israel were familiar with the onslaughts of wild beasts (see 1 Sam. 17:34–37).
