Verse 9
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Destroy — Destroy them by dividing.
Tongues — Their speech, as thou didst at Babel, Genesis 11:9, their votes, and opinions, and counsels. Which was eminently done among Absalom's followers, 2 Samuel 17:23.
Strife — Injustice and fraud, oppression and contention rule here, instead of that public justice and peace which I established.
City — In Jerusalem; which in Absalom's time was a sink of all sins.
