Psalms 119:95

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.

Ver. 95. The wicked have waited] Nothing less than destruction will satisfy persecutors; but the Lord knows how to deliver his Peters out of the hands of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews, Act 12:11 2 Peter 2:9 .

But I will consider thy testimonies] And therewith hearten and harden myself against their insolences and attempts for my hurt.
