Wicked way in me, Heb. way of trouble or grief; any course of life which is grievous, either,
1. To myself, as all sin is to the sinner sooner or later: or,
2. To others; as I am accused of causing much trouble and designing mischief to the king and kingdom. In the way everlasting; in the right and good way, which is lasting, and leads to everlasting life; whereas the way of wickedness, to which this is opposed, will perish, as is said, Psalms 1:6, and bring men into utter destruction. Or, as others render it, in the old way, which is the good way, as it is called Jeremiah 6:16; in the way of righteousness and holiness, which may well be called the old way, because it was from the beginning of the world written in man's heart, whereas wickedness is of a later date. Possibly it may be rendered, in thy way (the ellipsis of the pronoun being very frequent, as hath been noted and proved before; or, in the way, to wit, the way of God, which is oft called emphatically the way, as Psalms 25:8, Psalms 119:1 Proverbs 23:19, Proverbs 29:27, and which is sufficiently understood from its opposition to the wicked way in the former clause) for ever, or as long as I live, as this Hebrew word olam without any prefix to it is used, Job 41:4 Psalms 21:4, Psalms 45:7, and elsewhere. But this with submission.
