Definitions for Psalms 89:41
Clarke's Psalms 89:41 Bible Commentary
All that pass bay the way spoil him - The land is in the condition of a vineyard, the hedge of which is broken down, so that they who pass by may pull the grapes, and dismantle or tear down the vines. The Chaldeans and the Assyrians began the ravage; the Samaritans on the one hand, and the Idumeans on the other, have completed it.
Barnes's Psalms 89:41 Bible Commentary
All that pass by the way spoil him - The sentiment here is substantially the same as in Psalm 80:12. See the notes at that place. The idea is that of fields or vineyards, where all the fences, the walls, and the hedges are thrown down so that they become like an open common.
He is a reproach to his neighbors - An object of ridicule, as if he were forsaken by God; as if east out and despised.
