Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 10:3

3. For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire , and blesseth the covetous , whom the LORD abhorreth .

Or, glori[illegible: 1+ letters]th, or praiseth, or pleaset[illegible: 1+ letters] himself.

Or, in, or concerning, or because of the desire, or concupiscence, or l[illegible: 1+ letters]st of his heart, or soul; which word is added to note the vehemency and [illegible: 1+ letters]ervency of it. He glorieth in his very Lusts, which are his Shame, Phil. 3. 19. and especially in the satisfaction of his desires how wickedly soever he gets i[illegible: 1+ letters]. Desire is oft put for the thing desired, as Psal. 21. 2. and 78. 29, 30.

And as he applaudeth himself, so he commends others that are greedy after, and get abundance of Gain, though it be done by Fraud and Violence, accounting such the onely happy Men. Or, the covetous (the same with the wicked enlarging his desire, as was now said) blesseth, or applaudeth, or flattereth himself in what he hath already gotten, and in the confident expectation of the continuance and increase of his worldly Wealth and Glory.

So his judgment as well as practice is contrary to God's. Or, rather without any Supplement, as it is in the Margent, He abhorreth, or despiseth, or provoketh the Lord. He sets himself not only against Men but against God himself, as he declareth more fully in the next Vers[illegible: 1+ letters] ▪
