Commentaries on Psalms 112:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10The wicked shall see it - רשע rasha, the wicked one. Some think Satan is meant. It is distinguished from רשעים reshaim, wicked men, in the conclusion of the verse. Shall gnash with his teeth - Through spite and ill will. And melt away - Through envy and hopeless expectation of similar good; for his desire in reference to himself and in reference to him who is the object of his envy, shall perish - shall come to nothing.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved - They shall see his prosperity; shall see the evidence that God approves his character and his conduct. The word rendered “grieved” means rather to be angry or enraged. Perhaps the word “fret” would best express the sense. He shall gnash with his teeth - As indicative of hatred and wrath. See the notes at Psalm 37:12. And melt away - Disappear - as snow does that melts; or as a snail (see the notes at Psalm 58:8)…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Disappointed in their malevolent wishes by the prosperity of the pious, the wicked are punished by the working of their evil passions, and come to naught.Read the comment
