Psalms 5:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. That speak leasing - Falsity, from the Anglo-Saxon leasunge, a lie, falsity, deceit; from leas, lie, which is from the verb leasian to lie. See on Psalms 4:2 (note).

The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man - איש דמים ish damim, the man of bloods; for he who has the spirit of a murderer, will rarely end with one bloodshedding. So the Jews, who clamored for the blood of our Lord, added to that, as far and as long as they could, the blood of his disciples.
