12/13/2021 – John Gill’s Commentary: 9:5 and 9:7 // 03/25/2022 – John Gill’s Commentary: 9:10
Today, I will be sharing footnote commenary from the following:
(*1) – “Evidence Study Bible – NKJV // (*2) – “The Apologetics Study Bible
“The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.” Psalm 10:4
(*1) – 10:4 “The thoughts of sinners. In vv. 4-13, Scripture gives us insight into the thoughts of the unsaved: 1). His pride keeps him from seeking God. Any admittance of guilt is a blow to the pride of the human heart; 2) Because he’s self centered and self-sufficient, he feels no need to even consider God. 3) He thinks that he is in control of his life and that adversity will never come to him. 4) His willful ignorance leaves him without understand of God’s righteous judgments. 5). He believes that either God is blinded to his sinful lifestyle, or he has no sense of justice and will therefore not require any account for his lawlessness.
The reason the proud don’t seek after God is that they don’t want to — they will not seek after God because they don’t want to leave their sins. It is not that they cannot find Him, but that they will not.” (*1)

“He will rain burning coals and sulphur on the wicked; a scorching wind will be their portion.” Psalm 11:6
(*2) – 11:6 “The psalmist drew on the language of the destruction of Sodom in Genesis 19:24 to anticipate divine judgment on the ungodly. David desired that God would destroy the wicked with such force, for he knew that is what God would do eventually (Ezekiel 38:22; Habakkuk 2: 15-16).”

“The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. You shall keep them, O LORD, You shall preserve them from the generation forever.” Psalm 12: 6-7
(*1) 12:6-7 – “Men may list what they consider to be mistakes in the Bible. However all Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16); every word of the Lord is pure. Any seeming ‘mistakes’ are there because God has put them there, and they are therefore not mistakes. In time, we will find that the ‘mistakes’ are actually ours. See Mark 15:26 comment“
