Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Chapter 12
Psalms 12
The counsels or devices of his heart afford no relief.
lighten mine eyes--dim with weakness, denoting approaching death (compare Sa1 14:27-29; Psa 6:7; Psa 38:10).
rejoice--literally, "shout as in triumph." I am moved--cast down from a firm position (Psa 10:6).
Trust is followed by rejoicing in the deliverance which God effects, and, instead of his enemy, he can lift the song of triumph. Next: Psalms Chapter 14
