Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Blessed is that man (rather, the man) that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud; or, turneth not to the proud - does not go over to their party or espouse their principles. Absalom's adherents are probably the persons intended. Nor such as turn aside to lies; i.e. "prefer falsehood to truth," the cause of the ungodly to that of God himself.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Respecteth not.--Better, turneth not towards proud men and false apostates. The words are, however, somewhat obscure. The LXX. and Vulg. have "vanities and false madnesses." The words we have rendered false apostates are by some translated "turners after idols." Idolatry is doubtless implied, but not expressed.
