What Does Psalms 73:8 Mean?
Rather than hiding their malice, the wicked broadcast it. They 'speak wickedly concerning oppression'—they discuss harming others with casual pride, as if oppression were a natural good. They speak 'loftily,' without shame or fear of judgment.
Their arrogance is not hidden fear masquerading as confidence; it is genuine contempt for any authority above them. They have concluded they are answerable to no one.
