Psalms 73:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore pride compasseth them, &c.— That is, They are holden, as the other translation has it, or they are wholly possessed with pride: in like manner, as their necks are encompassed with a golden chain; which used to be worn by way of ornament. See Song of Solomon 4:9. Castalio renders the next clause, They are clothed with the garment of violence; i.e. "They maintain their pompous greatness by acts of violence:" These are what so magnificently clothes them.

Psalms 73:6

6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
