Psalms 59:12 - Exposition

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips; rather, the sin of their mouth is each word of their lips (Hupfeld, Cheyne); or, O the sin of their mouth ! O the word of their lips ! (Ewald, Kay, Canon Cook). Let them even be taken in their pride. Saul's special emissaries ( 1 Samuel 19:11 ) would, of course, be proud of their mission. And for cursing and lying which they speak (comp. Psalms 10:7 ; and, for an example, see 2 Samuel 16:5-8 ).
