Psalms 34:22

A church father on this verse
“But because there are many kinds of sinners, and not to be a sinner is difficult, or perhaps in this life impossible, he added immediately, of what kind of sinners the death is worst. "And they that hate the righteous one" (says he) "shall perish." What righteous one, but "Him that justifies the ungodly"? [Romans 4:5]…”

In context

20For to me they spoke peaceably, But imagined deceits in their anger.

21And they opened wide their mouth upon me; They said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

— Psalms 34:22 —

23Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, Even to my cause, my God and my Lord.
