Psalms 10:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He hath said in his heart; he thinketh or persuadeth himself. I shall not be moved; or, removed, to wit, from my place and happy state. For I shall never be in adversity; or, because I am not in adversity, therefore I never shall be in it. His present prosperity makes him secure for the future. Compare Revelation 18:7. Or, yea, (for this particle sometimes hath no other signification or use but only to amplify or aggravate, as it is also taken 1 Samuel 15:20, 1 Samuel 24:11) I shall never be in evil. So the sense of the place is, I shall not only be kept from total ruin, or a removal from my place and estate, but I shall not meet with the least cross or trouble. For this evil is not the evil of sin, as some here understand it, in which he knew that he was, and was resolved, ever to continue; but the evil of punishment, which was the only thing that he feared or regarded.
