Psalm 5:7 Douay-Rheims

Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

You destroy... the man of blood and deceit (אִישׁ־דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה - ish damim u-mirmah): This is the slanderer/talebearer (ha-rakhil). Similar to (Jeremiah 9:7): "Their tongue is a sharpened arrow; it speaks deceit (mirmah)." Ad-nai abhors ('יְתָעֵב ה - yeta'ev Ad-nai): Ad-nai is the subject/agent (HaShem hu ha-po'el - the one performing the action). And the meaning is that he [the man of blood and deceit] is abhorred (nit'av) in His eyes and despised (nim'as).
