But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

John 2:17. --- ** Romans 15:3.

Earth. To seek me out, (Houbigant) or they shall perish.

(Calmet) --- David foretells the destruction of his persecutors, either temporal or spiritual. (Worthington) --- The devils may be styled foxes.
