Gill's Notes on the Bible
They are enclosed in their own fat,.... Or "their fat has enclosed them"; either their eyes, that they can hardly see out of them, or their hearts, so that they are stupid and senseless, and devoid of the fear of God; the phrase is expressive of the multitude of their wealth and increase of power, by which they were swelled with pride and vanity, and neither feared God nor regarded man; so the Targum paraphrases it,
"their riches are multiplied, their fat covers them;''
see Deuteronomy 32:15; some read it, "their fat shuts their mouths", so Aben Ezra and Kimchi; or "with their fat they shut them" h; but the accent "athnach" will not admit of this reading; the last word belongs to the next clause;
with their mouth they speak proudly; against God and his people, belching out blasphemies against the one, and severe menaces and threatenings against the other.
h So De Dieu.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They are enclosed in their own fat - The meaning here is, that they were prosperous, and that they were consequently self-confident and proud, and were regardless of others. The phrase occurs several times as descriptive of the wicked in a state of prosperity, and as, therefore, insensible to the rights, the wants, and the sufferings of others. Compare Deuteronomy 32:15, âBut Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked: thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him,â etc. Job 15:27, âbecause he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.â Psalms 73:7, âtheir eyes stand out with fatness.â Psalms 119:70, âtheir heart is as fat as grease.â
With their mouth they speak proudly - Haughtily; in an arrogant tone; as a consequence of their prosperity.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 17:10. They are enclosed in their own fat — Dr. Kennicott, Bishop Horsley, Houbigant, and others, read the passage thus: ×¢×× ××××× ×¡××¨× alai chablamo sageru, "They have closed their net upon me." This continues the metaphor which was introduced in the preceding verse, and which is continued in the two following: and requires only that ×¢×× ali, "upon me," should began this verse instead of end the preceding; and that ××× cheleb, which signifies fat, should be read ××× chebel, which signifies rope, cable, or net. This important reading requires only the interchange of two letters. The Syriac translates it, shut their mouth: but the above emendation is most likely to be true.
They speak proudly. — Having compassed the mountain on which I had taken refuge, they now exult, being assured that they will soon be in possession of their prey.
