Psalms 64:3 - Exposition

Who whet their tongue like a sword (comp. Psalms 55:21 ; Psalms 57:4 ; Psalms 59:7 ). And bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words (comp. Psalms 11:2 ; Psalms 57:4 ). Calumny was what David especially feared, and what actually brought about his downfall (see 2 Samuel 15:2-6 ). The "bitterness" of his enemies is further emphasized by the speeches and curses of Shimei ( 2 Samuel 16:5-13 ).
