2 for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
2 For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.
2 Liars are pouring out invective on me; Their lying tongues are like a pack of dogs out to get me,
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
2 while the wicked slander me and tell lies about me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 109:2
Commentary on Psalm 109:1-5
(Read Psalm 109:1-5)
It is the unspeakable comfort of all believers, that whoever is against them, God is for them; and to him they may apply as to one pleased to concern himself for them. David's enemies laughed at him for his devotion, but they could not laugh him out of it.
