George Leo Haydock, on Ps 11:4

“May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.”

“Lips. “The saints do not curse, but foretell what will happen.” (St. Jerome) — Hebrew, “the Lord will destroy” the deceitful, (Berthier) who mean to injure men; (Haydock) and the proud, who attack God and religion, which they pretend they can prove (Berthier) to be a mere fiction, by their superior eloquence!
