Whose mouth, &c.-- (Psa 10:7): that is, "That mouth which should be 'most sweet' (Sol 5:16), being 'set on fire of hell' (Jam 3:6), is filled with burning wrath against those whom it should only bless." |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Whose mouth - Psa 10:7. The apostle has not quoted this literally, but has given the sense. David in the psalm is describing his bitter enemies.
Cursing - Reproachful and opprobrious language, such as Shimei used in relation to David; Sa2 16:5, Sa2 16:7-8.
Bitterness - In the psalm, deceits. The word "bitterness" is used to denote severity, harshness, cruelty; reproachful and malicious words. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Cursing - Against God. Bitterness - Against their neighbour. Psa 10:7. |
