Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 11:8

“Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.”

“"Therefore the wicked walk round about," so that they never reach the end of the journey they intend, namely to afflict others as they wish. Is. 59: "Their paths are crooked." And why? "Because according to your height you have multiplied the children of men"; because in my house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but wooden and earthen ones; and some indeed are sanctified unto honor, prepared for every good work. 2 Tim. 2. Or "round about," in the circuit of vices, "the wicked walk," not reaching the mean of virtue. 1 Sam. 25: "The soul of your enemies shall be whirled," etc.”
