Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house. It is the duty of a king to see, not only that his own ways are blameless, but that his entire household is well ordered, and consists of righteous persons (comp. Job 1:5). "Deceit" here means "wickedness" generally. He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight; literally, shall not be established; i.e. shall not keep his position in my court, but be banished from it. "Lying" is one of the sins which the psalmists denounce most frequently (see Psalm 31:18; Psalm 40:4; Psalm 52:3; Psalm 58:3; Psalm 59:12; Psalm 62:4; Psalm 63:11; Psalm 119:163, etc.).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Tarry in my sight--i.e., stand as a courtier in the royal presence. Comp. Homer:"Hateful to me as gates of hell is heWho hides one thing within his mind and speaks another."
