| Geneva Study Bible {d} The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. (d) Who run blindly after their carnal desires. King James Translators' Notes in...: Heb. before thine eyes Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 5. foolish-vainglorious and insolent. iniquity-especially such as denotes a negation, or defect, that is, of moral principle. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 5:1-6 God is a prayer-hearing God. Such he has always been, and he is still as ready to hear prayer as ever. The most encouraging principle of prayer, and the most powerful plea in prayer, is, to look upon him as our King and our God. David also prays to a sin-hating God. sin is folly, and sinners are the greatest of all fools; fools of their own making. Wicked people hate God; justly are they hated of him, and this will be their endless misery and ruin. Let us learn the importance of truth and sincerity, in all the affairs of life. Liars and murderers resemble the devil, and are his children, therefore it may well be expected that God should abhor them. These were the characters of David's enemies; and such as these are still the enemies of Christ and his people. |
