Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 10:6

6. He hath said in his heart , I shall not be moved : for I shall never be in adversity .

He thinketh or perswadeth himself.

Or, removed, to wit, from my place and happy state.

Or, because I am not in adversity, therefore I never shall be in it. His present prosperity makes him secure for the future. Comp. Revel. 18. 7. Or, yea (for this particle sometimes hath no other signification or use, but onely to amplify or aggravate, as it is also taken 1. Sam. 15, 20▪ & 24. 11.) I shall never be in evil. So the sence of the place is, I shall not onely be kept from total ruin or a removal from my place and estate, but I shall not meet with the least cross or trouble. For this evil is not the evil of Sin, as some here understand it, in which he knew that he was, and was resolved ever to continue, but the evil of Punishment, which was the only thing that he feared or regarded.
