Psalm 11:5 Douay-Rheims

Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

"Who have said, We will magnify our tongue, our lips are our own, who is Lord over us?" [Psalm 12:4]. Proud hypocrites are meant, putting confidence in their speech to deceive men, and not submitting themselves to God.
