Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
vile—rather, "fool" [LOWTH]; that is, ungodly (Psalms 14:1; Psalms 74:18).
liberal—rather, "noble-minded."
churl—rather, "fraudulent" [GESENIUS].
bountiful—religiously. The atheistic churl, who envies the believer his hope "full of immortality," shall no longer be held as a patriot struggling for the emancipation of mankind from superstition [HORSLEY].
