There are the workers, of iniquity fallen, etc.] Either in the pit they dug for others; or into hell, where they shall be turned at last; (see Gill on “<190505>Psalm 5:5”) and (see Gill on “<190608>Psalm 6:8”); they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise; which will be the case of Babylon when fallen, (<661821>Revelation 18:21), and this distinguishes the falls of the wicked from those of the righteous; for though the righteous fall, whether into sin, or into any calamity, they rise again; not so the wicked; (see <193724>Psalm 37:24 <330708>Micah 7:8); and thus, as the psalm begins with the transgression of the wicked, it ends with their ruin.
