(b) He means the flatters of the court which hurt him more with their tongues than with their weapons.


Psa 12:4 Who have said, (c) With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

(c) They think themselves able to persuade whatever they take in hand.


Psa 12:5 (d) For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will (e) set [him] in safety [from him that] puffeth at him.

(d) The Lord is moved with the complaints of his, and delivers in the end from all danger.

(e) Because the Lord's word and promise is true and unchangeable he will perform it and preserve the poor from this wicked generation.


Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep (f) them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

(f) That is, yours though was only one man.
