A church father on this verse
“"Casting Me forth they have now compassed Me about" [Psalm 17:11]. Casting Me forth outside the city, they have now compassed Me about on the Cross. "Their eyes they have determined to turn down on the earth." The bent of their heart they have determined to turn down on these earthly things: deeming Him, who was slain…”

In context

9There went up a smoke in his wrath, And fire burst into a flame at his presence: Coals were kindled at it.

10And he bowed the heaven, and came down: And thick darkness was under his feet.

— Psalms 17:11 —

12And he made darkness his secret place: Round about him was his tabernacle, Even dark water in the clouds of the air.

13At the brightness before him the clouds passed, Hail and coals of fire.
