“O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.”
Psalms 4:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 4:2
David addresses the 'sons of men' (Hebrew 'benei ish' - mankind) who persist in dishonoring God and pursuing worthless idols. The rhetorical 'how long?' expresses both grief and urgency. 'Vanity' (Hebrew 'riq') means emptiness or futility, while 'leasing' (Hebrew 'kazab') means falsehood or lies. This verse exposes humanity's tragic exchange: trading God's glory for shame, truth for lies, substance for emptiness. Paul echoes this in Romans 1:23, describing how humanity exchanged the glory of God for idols.
