Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, by your sword:
All Commentaries on Psalms 17:13 Go To Psalms 17
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
12. "Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down" (ver. 13). Arise, O Lord, Thou whom they suppose to be asleep, and regardless of men's iniquities; be they blinded before by their own malice, that vengeance may prevent their deed; and so cast them down.
