Psalms 112:10

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 112:10

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved. The wicked hate the righteous (), and are naturally "grieved" to see them prosper. "When shall he die, and his name perish?" is the thought of their heart against the godly man. He shall gnash with his teeth (comp. ; ; ; : ). Civilization represses these emotional displays, but the feeling remains nevertheless. And melt away; or, "consume away"—"waste away"—through envy and hate. The desire of the wicked shall perish (comp. ). "The desire of the wicked"—that which they earnestly long for, which is the downfall and destruction of the righteous—does not come to pass, but falls to the ground, "perishes," comes to naught.
