13. For I have heard the slander of many. One
slanderous viper is death to all comfort—what must be the venom of a whole
brood? What the ear does not hear the heart does not rue; but in David’s case
the accusing voices were loud enough to break in upon his quiet. Fear was onevery side. He was encircled with fearful suggestions, threatenings,
remembrances, and forebodings; no quarter was clear from incessant attack. Whilethey took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
The ungodly act in concert in their onslaughts upon the excellent of the earth.
Observe the cruelty of a good man’s foes! They will be content with nothing
less than his blood—for this they plot and scheme. Yet in all this his faith
did not fail him, nor did his God forsake him. Here is encouragement for us.
