Salmos 12:8 NVT

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 12:8

Psalms 12:8. The wicked walk on every side They fill all places, and go about boldly and securely, seeking to deceive, corrupt, and destroy others, being neither afraid nor ashamed to discover themselves; when the vilest of men are exalted To places of trust and power, who, instead of putting the laws in execution against vice and injustice, and punishing the wicked according to their deserts, patronize and protect them, or give them countenance and support by their own example. The... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 12:1-8

Psalms 11-13 Persevere . . . or give in?There came a time when David became tired of his continual flight from Saul, not just because it was wearying, but because it was cutting him off from the public worship places of God’s people (1 Samuel 26:19). His spiritual life was weakened and he gave in to the temptation to leave his own country for the safety of enemy Philistia (1 Samuel 27:1). This is the sort of temptation that David considers in Psalms 11:0, the temptation to go along with... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 12:8

"The wicked walk on every side,When vileness is exalted among the sons of men."The elevation of evil men to high places of authority results in the proliferation of all kinds of shameful conduct in the land; and it would appear that this verse outlines just such a situation. It corresponds very closely to verse 1 of this psalm and seems to be just another way of saying "The current situation in society remains the same." read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 12:8

Psalms 12:8. The wicked walk on every side— Dr. Hammond observes that this verse is very obscure, and Bishop Hare ingenuously acknowledges that he does not understand it. Mudge renders it thus: The wicked walk up and down on every side; as thou art on high, thou art become contemptible to the sons of men. I make the Psalmist, says he, apply here to the jealousy of God, as he frequently does, that his honour may arouse him to do justice upon the wicked; "Because thou residest up on high, thou... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 12:1-8

Psalms 12David placed great confidence in the promises of God to deliver those who look to Him for salvation. This was not easy for the psalmist to do, since in his day powerful wicked people were taking advantage of the weak and vulnerable (cf. Psalms 11:3). The genre of this psalm is probably a community lament with a statement of confidence in God. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 12:8

When people pursue lives of vanity and vile conduct, verbal deception abounds, but God will preserve the godly. "The sons of men," repeated from Psalms 12:1 and so an inclusio for this psalm, stresses the mortality of the wicked (cf. Isaiah 2:22). David did not resolve the problem of evil, but he recognized that evil is under the full sovereignty of Yahweh who will care for His children."Vileness (’cheapness’) is promoted and exalted in the media: immorality, brutality, murder, lies,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 12:1-8

The same subject may be traced here as in Psalms 9-11, viz. a time of persecution and oppression coupled with a conviction that God lives and will yet deliver.Title as in Psalms 6.2. Vanity] empty and false words. A double heart] a figure for treachery and deceit.4. Our lips are our own] We have a right to say what we please, to gain our end.5. Now will I arise] God’s time for interposition always arrives sooner or later. The Psalmist pictures the proper moment as having come. From him that... read more
