Psalms 12:7

“Thou shalt keep them That is, the persons referred to inPsalms 12:5- the poor and the needy who were suffering from the wrongs inflicted on them. The idea is, that God would guard and defend them. They were safe in his hands. ComparePsalms 37:3-7. From this generation -This generation, or this race of detractors, flatterers, and oppressors. The idea is, that that entire generation was eminently wicked, and that none but God could deliver the poor and the needy from their designs. Forever -That is, “constantly,” or as long as they would need the divine protection.
