The abjects.
Heb. nekim, “smitten ones,” referring perhaps to those less strong than the psalmist, who joined in the slander suggested in the verse.
Did tear.
Slanderous tongues are like the sharp teeth of wild beasts, which tear their prey.
Adversity.
Literally, “stumbling.” When the psalmist stumbled, his enemies rejoiced and banded together against him to prevent him from rising again.
