You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 7. Vanities. Idols, ( Calmet.) superstitious practices, (Hammond) and lies. It may refer to Saul, who performed his promises so ill, and neglected the laws which he had made against witches. Calmet.—Prot. “I have hated them that regard lying vanities.” Bible.—The ancient interpreters, with S. Jerom, seem not to have seen the i, which changes the second into the first person, though here it would be less agreeable to the context. This i would appear unnecessary, if the present Hebrew were correct. Bert. Houbig.
