Psalm 54:16 Douay-Rheims

Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

May He incite Death upon them May the Holy One, blessed be He, incite the Angel of Death upon them. Heb. יַשִּׁיא, incite and entice, an expression of (Gen. 3:13): “The serpent enticed me and I ate.” Menachem (p. 101) interpreted יַשִּׁיא, as an expression of יש, there is, as (Gen. 24:49): “If you wish (ישכם) to do kindness”; (Deut. 29:14), “who is (ישנו) here.” in their dwelling במגורם, in their lodging.
