Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.
Ver. 2. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips] This was David's distress, and it lay heavy upon his spirit; so it did upon Job's, and Jeremiah's, Jeremiah 20:10; the scourge of tongues he felt as sharp as scorpions. Of the mischief of an evil tongue see Jam 3:1-9 Psalms 52:2,4 Psalms 12:3. See Trapp on " Psa 12:3 "
