Psalms 10:7 - Exposition

His mouth is full of cursing . (On the prevalence of this evil habit among the powerful in David's time, see Psalms 59:12 ; Psalms 109:17 , Psalms 109:18 ; 2 Samuel 16:5 .) And deceit and fraud; or, guile and extortion (Kay); comp. Psalms 36:3 ; Psalms 55:11 . Under his tongue is mischief and vanity; rather, as in the margin, mischief and iniquity. These are stored "under his tongue," ready for utterance whenever he finds a fit occasion.
