2. Here the words “together” and “to destroy it,” which
occur in Psalm 40, are omitted: a man in haste uses no more words than are
actually necessary. His enemies desired to put his faith to shame, and he
eagerly intreats that they may be disappointed, and themselves covered with
confusion. It will certainly be so; if not sooner, yet at that dread day when
the wicked will awake to shame and everlasting contempt. Turned backward
and “driven back” are merely the variations
of the translators. When people labor to turn others back from the right road,
it is God’s retaliation to turn them back from the point they are aiming at.
