- Psalms 4:2
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah
Commentary on Psalms 4:22 voices
O ye sons of men - בני איש beney ish, ye powerful men - ye who are now at the head of affairs, or who are leaders of the multitude. Love vanity - The poor, empty, shallow-brained, pretty-faced Absalom; whose prospects are all vain, and whose promises are all empty! Seek after leasing? - This is a Saxon word, from falsehood, from to lie. Cardmarden has adopted this word in his translation, Rouen, 15
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
David seems to be speaking here of those who, when being tested and put through various trials, would rather do anything than find refuge in God. Why is it necessary, he asks, to be disturbed and upset at the conditions of the times? What makes you hand yourselves over to vanity, you heavy-hearted people? Why do you seek lies and leave the truth behind?
Eusebius of Caesarea· COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 4:3, 339Patristic
