As in this former part of the 27th verse, we have had the first cause opened why God striketh the mighty as wicked men in the open sight of others, namely, their apostasy from God, Because they turned back from him. So in the latter part of this verse we have another reason assigned why God doth it, and that is, because They would not Consider any of his ways.

The word which we render Consider, signifies also to understand or know, which is an act precedent to consideration;1 Consideration is a contemplative act; by consideration we become more knowing, but we cannot consider any thing till we have some understanding or knowledge of it. And this word is often (in another Conjugation) used in the title of some special Psalms. The 32d Psalm, as also the 42d Psalm, is called Maschil, as much as to say, a teaching, or an instructing Psalm, a Psalm giving understanding and requiring deep and serious consideration. Thus in the text, they would not consider, nor understand, nor know, nor contemplate any of his ways.
