Commentary on Psalms 64:6

Theological / Devotional

Search out. They search for and examine every plan that might aid them in accomplishing their wicked purposes.

Diligent search. Verses 2–6 describe the restless activity of the wicked. Aided by the master mind of evil, the unrighteous zealously “search out” iniquity, carefully plan its execution, diligently prepare for action, and suddenly strike when the moment is opportune.

It would be well for the righteous to be as diligent in the practice of righteousness. Too often godliness becomes an entirely passive matter. No growth in grace is discernible, no new exploits for God are planned. The words of Christ are pertinent, “The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light” (Luke 16:8).
