**Title. Michtam.** See App-65 .
**Do ye indeed . . . ?** Figure of Speech. *Erotesis.* App-6 . Render:
*"Are ye indeed silent [when] ye should speak righteousness? When ye should judge with equity, O ye sons of men?"*
***O congregation:*** ** or, O faction. ** Hebrew. *'elem.* Occurs only here and in the subscription of [Psalms 55](../../../kjv/psalms/55) = silent. So human judges are dumb when they ought to speak, and deaf when they ought to hear ([Psalms 58:4](../../../kjv/psalms/58/4) ).
**men.** Hebrew. *'adam.* App-14 .

**wickedness.** Hebrew. *'avval.* Compare App-44 .
**Ye weigh** = Ye weigh out, or, dispense.

**wicked** = lawless. Hebrew. *rasha'.* App-44 .

**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 .
**LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .

**cut in pieces** = cut down [like grass].

**the thorns.** Put by Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Cause), App-6 , for the fire caused by them ([Ecclesiastes 7:6](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/7/6) ).

**the righteous** = the righteous one.
**He is a God:** or, There is a God, judges in the earth [will say]. Note the Introversion in this verse.
