Psalms 61:4

4 How is it that you rush against a man?
Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall,
leaning over and falling apart. ^{▼▼61:4The word ‘parieti’ refers to a ruined wall. The addition of the phrase ‘inclinato et maceriæ,’ further describes the wall as leaning over and falling apart. The word ‘maceriæ’ is often used to describe a garden wall, because garden walls have no mortar; they are simply one stone on another. Thus the word ‘maceriæ,’ in this context, refers to a wall that has lost its mortar and is therefore falling apart.(Conte)}
