Psalms 55:3. Because of the voice of the enemy,
He can speak, and speak clearly too. Malice is never short of language, "because of the voice of the enemy."
Psalms 55:3. Because of the oppression of the wicked:
The best men have often been the most oppressed of men. Men have often spoken worst of those who have deserved the best. David is in that plight, and so was our Lord. He, too, knew the voice of the enemy and the oppression of the wicked.
Psalms 55:3. For they cast iniquity upon me,
They bespatter me with their mire; they slander me. They speak evil of my good.
Psalms 55:3. And in wrath they hate me.
It is the old story. The seed of the serpent naturally hates the seed of the woman. Even our Lord had a bruised heel. Know ye not that Ishmael persecutes Isaac, the child of the promise? All down history there runs this line - the mark of blood and suffering. It must be so, "for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me."
