Psalms 73:11 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? They say, How doth God know? - My people are so stumbled with the prosperity of the wicked, that they are ready in their temptation to say, "Surely, God cannot know these things, or he would never dispense his favors thus." Others consider these words as the saying of the wicked: "We may oppress these people as we please, and live as we list; God knows nothing about it."
