What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? - literally, 'What shall (He, the Lord) give unto thee? and what shall He add unto thee?' etc. There is a reference to the common oath, "God do so to thee and more also" (1 Samuel 3:17). From addressing the Lord the Psalmist turns to the slanderers. They had thought to gain by their slanders. All the gain that the Lord will 'give' them, and add in giving - i:e., give them again and again-is, He will make their slanders recoil on themselves to their ruin (cf. Psalms 120:4).
