Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - His ways are always grievous; lather, firm; i.e. steadfast and consistent, not wavering and uncertain. The thoroughly wicked person who "neither fears God nor regards man," pursues the course which he has set himself, without deviation, turning neither to the right hand nor to the left. There is nothing to hinder him - no qualm of conscience, no distrust of himself, no fear of other men's opposition. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. They are held in reserve; he does not foresee them - he does not believe in them. As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. His human adversaries he wholly despises, believing that a breath from his month will bring them to nothing.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) His ways are always grievous.--Better, his enterprises always succeed. This meaning is obtained from Job 20:21, "nothing escaped his covetousness, therefore his prospering shall not last," and from the cognate of the verb "strength." Perhaps, however, "his ways are always strong" implies only the bold and reckless course with which a tyrant pursues his end. (Comp. Psalm 73:12.)Thy judgments . . . .--Literally, a height thy judgments far above him. (Comp. Psalm 36:6.)Puffeth--i.e., in scorn. (Comp. Psalm 12:5.) South uses the word in this sense, "It is really to defy heaven to puff at damnation, and bid omnipotence do its work." It is especially forcible after the description of the haughty attitude of the wicked, with his nose high in the air, snorting out contempt against his foes, disdaining God and man alike.
