From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me -This refers, doubtless, to some particular period of his past life when he was in very great danger, and when God interposed to save him. The margin here is, “approached against me.” The literal rendering would be, “in the drawing near against me of the wicked to eat up my flesh.” The reference is to some period when they purposed an attack upon him, and when he was in imminent danger from such a threatened attack. To eat up my flesh -As if they would eat me up. That is, they came upon me like ravening wolves, or hungry lions.
