Psalms 12:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou shalt keep them; either,

1. The poor and needy, Psalms 12:5, from the crafts and malice of this crooked and perverse generation of men, and for ever. Or,

2. Thy words or promises last mentioned, Psalms 12:6. These thou wilt observe and keep (as these two verbs commonly signify) both now, and from this generation for ever, i.e. Thou wilt not only keep thy promise to me in preserving me, and advancing me to the throne, but also to my posterity from generation to generation.

Psalms 12:7

7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
