Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 55:3

"Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me." — Psalms 55:3 (ASV)

Oppressor. —This meaning of a rare word is confirmed by Amos 2:13.

Cast iniquity. —A better translation is roll mischief. The image seems to be drawn from the practice of rolling stones down on an enemy from a height. In Psalms 140:10, the same verb is used for rolling burning coals on a foe.

Hate me. —A better translation is persecute me.
