Psalms 52:2 - Exposition

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; or, malignities — evils of the worst kind. It was Doeg's "tongue" that brought about the entire ghastly massacre (see 1 Samuel 22:9 , 1 Samuel 22:10 ). Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Doeg had "worked deceitfully," since he had not told Saul the circumstances that made Ahimelech's giving aid to David no disloyalty to the king ( 1 Samuel 21:2 , 1 Samuel 21:8 ). The suppressio veri is a suggestio falsi.
