Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:6 . Leasing; a Gothic and primitive word equivalent to falsehood. They professed loyalty to the king, but were traitors in heart, as in Psalms 5:9. Psalms 5:9 . Their throat is an open sepulchre, emitting a noxious effluvia. Psalms 5:10 . Destroy them; for by the rebellion their lives and lands were forfeited. REFLECTIONS.

But as for me ] Who am conscious of none of these foul and flagitious practices. The upright shall dwell in God’s presence, Job 12:16 Psalms 140:13 : not so the hypocrite and ungodly.
