Psalm 51:4
Douay-Rheims
All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
John Gill
Thou lovest all devouring words,.... Or "words of swallowing up" (y); such as lies, calumnies, and detractions are, which devour the characters and reputations of men, and are the cause sometimes of their utter ruin and destruction; of the devouring and blasphemous words of antichrist see Rev 13:5; O thou deceitful tongue; See Gill on Psa 52:2. (y) "verba absorptionis", Vatablus, Gejerus, Schmidt.
