Psalms 74:23

The voice; their insulting and reproachful expressions against time, as well as against us. The tumult, i.e. the tumultuous noise of the loud clamours. Increaseth, Heb. ascendeth, to wit, into heaven, being either directed thither by them; their mouth being set against heaven, as theirs was, Psalms 73:9; or at least being perceived there by God, whose ears were pierced with the loud cry of their sins. See Genesis 4:10, Genesis 18:20. Or ascending may be here put for increasing, as it is Isaiah 55:13 Jeremiah 46:7. So the sense is, They grow worse and worse, encouraging and hardening themselves in their wicked courses by their continual success and prosperity, and by thy patience extended to them.
