Geneva Bible Notes (1560): Psalm 58

^{1 !} He describeth the malice of his enemies, the flatterers of Saul, who bothe secretly & openly soght his destruction, from whome he appealeth to Gods judgement,

^{1 a} Ye counselers of Saul, who vnder pretence of consulting for the commune welth conspire my death being an innocent.

^{2 b} Ye are not ashamed to execute the crueltie publikely, which ye haue imagined in your hearts.

^{3 c} That is, enemies to the people of God euen from their birth.

^{4 d} They passe in malice, and subtiltie the craftie serpent which colde preserue him selfe by stopping his care from the inchanter.

^{6 e} Take away all occasions & means, wherby they hurt.

^{7 f} Considering Gods diuine power he sheweth that God in a moment can destroye their force, whereof, they bragge.

^{9 g} As flesh is taken rawe out of the post before the water seeth: so he desireth God to destroye their entreprises before thei bring them to passe.

^{10 h} With a pure affection.

^{10 i} Their punishment & slaughter shalbe so great.

^{10 !} Shewing that the just shal rejoyce when they se the punishement of the wicked to the glorie of God.

^{11 k} Seing God gouerneth all by his prouidence. he must nedes put difference betwene the godlie, and the wicked.
