But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
forgive not-- (Psa 109:9-10, Psa 109:14). blot out--image from an account-book (Rev 20:12). before thee--Hypocrites suppose God is not near, so long as they escape punishment; but when He punishes, they are said to stand before Him, because they can no longer flatter themselves they can escape His eye (compare Psa 90:8). deal thus--exert Thy power against them [MAURER]. time of thine anger--Though He seems to tarry, His time shall come at last (Ecc 8:11-12; Pe2 3:9-10).
