Psalms 17:4

Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer.
Read Chapter 17

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
4. "That My mouth may not speak the works of men" (ver. 4). That nothing may proceed out of My mouth, but what relates to Thy glory and praise; not to the works of men, which they do beside Thy will. "Because of the words of Thy lips." Because of the words of Thy peace, or of Thy prophets. "I have kept hard ways." I have kept the toilsome ways of human mortality and suffering.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
