Commentary on Psalms 55:15

Theological / Devotional

Go down. See Ps. 9:17; cf. Num. 16:30.

Hell. Heb. she’ol, “the figurative abode of the dead” (see on Prov. 15:11).

In their dwellings. See vs. 3, 9–11. Wickedness abounds in their houses, their transactions, their hearts. It is well for the community that wickedness should be punished.
