Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - They have taken crafty counsel against thy people. Such a widespread confederacy as that described below (vers. 6-8) cannot have been formed without much secret consultation and plotting. And consulted against thy hidden ones; i.e. "those whom thou hidest in the covert of thy presence from the plottings of man" (Psalm 31:20, Revised Version: comp. Psalm 27:5).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) They have taken crafty counsel.--Literally, They have made their plot crafty; or, as we say, "They have laid a deep plot."Hidden ones--i.e., those under God's close protection, as in Psalm 17:8; Psalm 27:5; Psalm 31:20.
