6. In this and the following verses the effect of the psalm is heightened
by contrast. Alas, the character described here is no uncommon one. The boorish
or boarish man, for such is almost the very Hebrew word, sees nothing in
nature, and if it be pointed out to him, his foolish mind will not comprehend
it. The unbelieving heart does not know; and with all its parade of intellect,
it does not understand. O God, how sorrowful a thing it is that people whom
thou hast so largely gifted, and made in thine own image, should so brutify
themselves that they will neither see nor understand what thou hast made so
clear.
