Psalms 119:78

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.

Ver. 78. Let the proud be ashamed] Theoderet thinks that David here prayeth not against, but for, his enemies, quando quidem confusio et ignominia salutem procreat. But that is not likely.

For they dealt perversely with me] Writhing my words and deeds to a wrong sense; or, they would pervert me.

But I will meditate in thy precepts] Or, I will speak of them, and so stop their mouths, and save myself from them.
