Bible Comments

Him, to wit, the man mentioned Psalms 62:3, i.e. himself; of whom he continues to speak in the third person. From his excellency; from the hopes and attainment of that royal dignity, to which God hath designed and anointed me. In lies; in secret slanders and execrations, covered with flatteries and fair speeches, as it here follows.

Psalms 62:4

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.b Selah.
