A souvenir is something which (or in the case of the righteous man, someone who) is preserved and remembered. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Psalm 12 refers to a time of persecution and danger for David such as those under Saul or Absalom. In this Psalm David pleads with the LORD for help against the godless, flattering, plunderers which surround him. And David was assured that God would set the oppressed, like David, in a place of safety where they would be preserved. David begins this Psalm by addressing the LORD. He changes the addressee several times in the verses that follow. To the LORD he pleads for help because the godly man (i.e., the merciful man) and the faithful man (i.e., the supportive man) cease and disappear (1). The oppressors speak vanity (or declare desolation) upon their neighbors with smooth lips and a double heart (literally "in heart and heart") -- or with one heart then another (2). The LORD will cut off such lips and tongues which speak these proud or great things, saying that they will prevail with their tongue and lips, and no one is their master (3-4). But the LORD hears the oppressed, the poor, and the needy; and he said that he will set them in safety from those who puff at them -- referring, perhaps, to the contemptuous snort or puff that is often heard from the nostrils or on the lips of those who despise others (5). David acknowledges these assurances from the LORD and says that they are as pure as silver which has been purified seven times in a furnace (6). Then, speaking to the LORD, David acknowledges that the LORD will preserve the oppressed from this generation and forever (7). And, to again show the danger that he and his companions were in, David says that the wicked walk on every side (or circle around) when vile (or tempestuous) men are exalted. In other words, they are like a destructive whirlwind (8). [ Sermons: William Still. Joe Morecraft III. Richard Caldwell.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
