3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses
3 The wicked are windbags, the swindlers have foul breath.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
3 For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 10:3
Commentary on Psalm 10:1-11
(Read Psalm 10:1-11)
God's withdrawings are very grievous to his people, especially in times of trouble. We stand afar off from God by our unbelief, and then complain that God stands afar off from us. Passionate words against bad men do more hurt than good; if we speak of their badness, let it be to the Lord in prayer; he can make them better. The sinner proudly glories in his power and success. Wicked people will not seek after God, that is, will not call upon him. They live without prayer, and that is living without God. They have many thoughts, many objects and devices, but think not of the Lord in any of them; they have no submission to his will, nor aim for his glory. The cause of this is pride. Men think it below them to be religious. They could not break all the laws of justice and goodness toward man, if they had not first shaken off all sense of religion.
