Psalms 49:5. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
We may read it: "The iniquity of my supplanters shall compass me about." There may some dark days when the wicked seed, whose delight it is to bite at the heel of the seed of God, will gather around us; and we think, perhaps, that they will be too many for us. But why should we fear them?
Who are they? They are great and mighty, perhaps, but if they are but an iniquity; - a corporated iniquity, - we need not to be afraid of them. Our righteous God is our defender.
