Commentary on Psalms 73:9

Theological / Devotional

Against the heavens. Or, “in the heavens,” by which may be meant, “They talk as if they were in the heavens.” The phrase is balanced with “through the earth” (literally, “in the earth”) in the second clause of the synonymous parallelism. They talk with an assumed authority. They keep busy going everywhere speaking “wickedly” (v. 8).
