PSALMS 63:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 63:7Ps 63:9
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
The continuation that those who seek the psalmist's life will go down to the depths of the earth and be given over to the sword articulates the petition for judgment on enemies and the confidence that they will be defeated. The reference to depths and swords suggests violent death and final judgment. The contrast between the psalmist's security in God and the enemies' destruction establishes the inverse relationship: as God sustains the righteous, God judges the wicked. This verse transitions from affirmation of personal devotion to petition for divine judgment on enemies.
