7. Shall they escape by iniquity? Can it
be that this conduct will enable them to avoid the sentence of earthly
punishment? They slander the good man to screen themselves—will this avail
them? They have cunningly managed hitherto, but will there not be an end to
their games? In thine anger cast down the people, O God. Trip them up in
their tricks. A persecuted man finds a friend even in an angry God; how much
more in the God of love! When people seek to cast us down, it is but natural
and not at all unlawful to pray that they may be disabled from the
accomplishment of their infamous designs. What God often does we may safely ask
him to do.
