Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 141:6

"Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet." — Psalms 141:6 (ASV)

This verse is again full of difficulties. The first clause should probably be translated, Let their judges be broken to pieces by the force (literally, hands) of the rock; or, let their judges be cast down by the sides of the cliff—that is, hurled down the precipitous face of the ravine (see 2 Chronicles 25:12, and notice that the word here is “Sela‘,” the name of the capital of Edom; compare Hosea 10:14 and Psalms 137:9, where, however, the expression is “against the cliff.”).

They shall ...—Better, then they will hear my words; how dainty they are, etc. The expression is ironical. The ungodly party, when their power is broken, instead of being entertained by the poet at a licentious banquet, will indeed listen to his words—they will hear a “dainty song” from him, namely, “a song of triumph.”
