11. For they intended evil against thee. He who
would but could not is as guilty as he who did. Christ’s church and cause are
not only attacked by those who do not understand it, but there are many who
have the light and yet hate it. The words against thee show us that he
who intends evil against the poorest believer means ill to the King himself:
let persecutors beware. They imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. The haters of the Lord Jesus lack power; yet they will
be judged as to their hearts, and the will shall be taken for the deed in the
great day of account. When we read the boastful threatenings of the enemies of
the Gospel at the present day, we may cheerfully repeat, which they are notable to perform. The devil and all his allies retire in dismay from the walls
of Zion, for the Lord is there.
