Psalms 36:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

There ... of iniquity fallen ... In spirit he, by faith, sees his foes already vanquished by the power of prayer, though to the world they seemed in the height of their prosperity. He points to them "there," as if before the eye. Compare Psalms 18:38; Proverbs 24:16, which marks, as here, the contrast between the falls of the godly and of the wicked: "A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked shall fall into mischief" (are destroyed finally).
