Psalms 56:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They wrest my words— They pervert, torture, &c. Chandler, &c. That is, they endeavour to squeeze from my words, as it were by torture, any sense that they please, contrary to the intention of the speaker. See Delaney's Life of David, b. i. c. 11.

Psalms 56:5
