Psalm 55:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 55:11

Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof
All manner of wickedness; abominable wickedness; wickedness as arrived to its highest pitch, and as having filled up its measure; see ( Ezekiel 9:4 ) ( Zechariah 5:7 Zechariah 5:8 ) ;

deceit and guile depart not from her streets;
where truth was fallen, and equity could not enter, ( Isaiah 59:14 ) ; for these are contrary the one to the other, and are incompatible; where the one prevails, the other must give way. This whole account shows the aboundings of sin in Jerusalem at this time, and that it was openly and publicly committed, and contains so many reasons of the imprecations in ( Psalms 55:9 ) .

Psalm 55:11 In-Context

9 Je me hâterais de m'échapper, loin du vent violent, loin de la tempête.
10 Anéantis-les, Seigneur; confonds leurs langues; car je ne vois que violence et querelles dans la ville.
11 Elles en font le tour, jour et nuit, sur ses murailles; la ruine et le tourment sont au milieu d'elle.
12 La malice est au milieu d'elle; l'oppression et la fraude ne s'éloignent point de ses places.
13 Car ce n'est pas un ennemi qui m'outrage, je pourrais le supporter; mon adversaire n'est pas celui qui me haïssait, je me cacherais loin de lui.
