Psalms 52:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully. Deviseth mischiefs - Lies and slanders proceeding from the tongue argue the desperate wickedness of the heart.

Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully - Which instead of taking off the beard, cuts and wounds the flesh; or as the operator who, when pretending to trim the beard, cuts the throat.
