14 Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies.
14 Look at that guy! He had sex with sin, he's pregnant with evil. Oh, look! He's having the baby - a Lie-Baby!
14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
14 The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 7:14
Commentary on Psalm 7:10-17
(Read Psalm 7:10-17)
David is confident that he shall find God his powerful Saviour. The destruction of sinners may be prevented by their conversion; for it is threatened, If he turn not from his evil way, let him expect it will be his ruin. But amidst the threatenings of wrath, we have a gracious offer of mercy. God gives sinners warning of their danger, and space to repent, and prevent it. He is slow to punish, and long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish. The sinner is described, verses 14-16, as taking more pains to ruin his soul than, if directed aright, would save it. This is true, in a sense, of all sinners. Let us look to the Saviour under all our trials. Blessed Lord, give us grace to look to thee in the path of tribulation, going before thy church and people, and marking the way by thine own spotless example. Under all the persecutions which in our lesser trials mark our way, let the looking to Jesus animate our minds and comfort our hearts.
