The Psalms Book 5: Psalms 140-145

From the heart-searching, yea God-searching, of the heart in the last psalm, we turn to a group of five, rising from a cry for full deliverance by executed judgment to anticipated thanksgiving in Psa. 145, a millennial strain, followed by varied and ceaseless praises to the end of the book.
In Psa. 140 the “evil man,” if defined, seems to be Antichrist; the “man of violence” rather the external enemy, the Assyrian. Proud or high ones here are ungodly Israelites.
