In thy prosperity. — Literally, prosperities. The word is used, as in Proverbs 1:32; Ezekiel 16:49; Psalms 30:6, in reference to what in old English was called “security,” the careless, reckless temper engendered by outward prosperity. The plural is used to include all the forms of that temper that had been manifested in the course of centuries.
