Psalms 73:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

Therefore his people return hither. In consequence of the prosperity attending the wicked, Yahweh's people (Psalms 73:1) forsake Him, and take part with the wicked.

And waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. So the Hebrew (Leviticus 1:15; Leviticus 5:9). Maurer translates, 'are sucked up by them' (cf. Psalms 75:8; Psalms 51:17). Here it is in a good sense. These who leave Yahweh, to join the wicked, have a full abundance of all things like a brimming cup (Job 15:16).
