Psalms 56:6

they hide themselves I.e., lie in wait for me; or according to the Kthibh, set an ambush.Cp. Psalms 59:3; Psalms 10:8-9.

they mark my steps Like hunters tracking their game. "Go, I pray you," said Saul to the men of Keilah, "and know and see his place where his haunt (lit. foot) is" (1 Samuel 23:22-23).

when they wait&c. R.V., even as (marg. inasmuch as) they have waited for my soul; have been watching their opportunity to take my life. Cp. Psalms 119:95.
