[Between verses 2 and 11, the acrostic pattern is completely broken. Between lamed in verse 1 and qof in verse 12, the following six letters should have appeared: mem, nun, samech, ajin, pe, tsade – מ, נ, ס, ע, פ, צ. The theme of this passage is how the wicked think and act. When people do not want to have anything to do with God, total chaos ensues in society. God's perfect order and structure is disrupted, which is also reinforced in literary terms by the acrostic disorder and irregularity in the length of the verses. God's perfect number is 7 and man's number is 6, because man was created on the sixth day. The allusion to man's number may be that it is precisely six letters that are missing. See also Ps. 9:6, 18; 10:6 for more "disturbances" in the pattern when the wicked are mentioned.] In pride (arrogance), the wicked pursue (persecute and burn the wicked like wildfire) the weak (humble), they are caught by their own cunning plans. [Literally, the phrase is "in/by pride the wicked burns/chases the weak." The Hebrew word dalak is used 9 times in the Old Testament. About half of the times, the meaning is to start a fire and to burn, see Ps. 7:14; Ezek. 24:10. The other half of the times, the meaning is to pursue/chase, see Gen. 31:36. The origin of the word has to do with how a flame burns and pursues the wick. The most common interpretation is that the pride and arrogance of the wicked burn and pursue the weak. It is also possible to see the fire as the torment and cruelty that the weak experience during persecution, see Dan. 3. In the second part, "they" refers either to the weak who are subjected to the evil plans of the wicked or to the godless who are often caught in their own traps, see Ps. 7:16.]
