Psalms 4:2

Verse 2

2. Sons of men The Hebrew denotes men of rank, as distinguished from the other form, for the common people. Literally, the former is sons of אישׁ , ( ish,) and the latter the sons of אדם , ( adam.) The distinction is well brought out in Psalms 49:3, and Psalms 62:9, where ish is translated high and high degree, and adam, low and low degree. In this David warns the leaders of the rebellion.

Turn my glory into shame Treat my kingly rights and dignity with dishonour and contempt.

Leasing Lying.
