On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In singing this psalm we must observe the effect of the old enmity that is in the seed of the woman against the seed of the serpent, and assure ourselves that the serpent's head will be broken, at last, to the honour and joy of the holy seed. Malice of David's Enemies. 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

When God deals with men according to the desert of their tongue-sins, and brings those mischiefs upon them which they have passionately and maliciously imprecated upon others, then he makes their own tongues to fall upon them; and it is weight enough to sink a man to the lowest hell, like a talent of lead.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

their . . . tongue to fall, &c.--that is, the consequences of their slanders, &c. (compare Ps 10:2; 31:16). all that see . . . away--Their partners in evil shall be terrified. Men, generally, will acknowledge God's work, and the righteous, rejoicing in it, shall be encouraged to trust Him (Ps 58:10).
