“Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? are: Heb. are with us”
Psalms 12:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 12:4
The wicked claim autonomy: 'our lips are our own—who is lord over us?' This is the essence of human rebellion—asserting self-sovereignty. The Hebrew 'adon' (lord/master) indicates ownership and authority. This anticipates Romans 1's description of exchanging truth for a lie and refusing to acknowledge God (Romans 1:25, 28). Reformed theology identifies this as the root sin: autonomy replacing theonomy.
