Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful; literally, of deceit - the abstract for the concrete. Are opened against me; literally, hare they opened upon me (Kay, Cheyne, Revised Version). They have spoken against ms with a lying tongue (comp. Psalm 27:12; Psalm 35:11). Calumny and misrepresentation are ever the portion of the children of God. David was calumniated by Saul (1 Samuel 22:7-13), by Absalom (2 Samuel 15:3, 4), by Shimei (2 Samuel 16:8), and others. One more perfect than David was even more calumniated (Matthew 11:19; Matthew 12:24; Matthew 26:61; Luke 23:2, etc.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Of the deceitful.--Properly, as in margin, of deceit; consequently, to make the two expressions alike, it is proposed to read, instead of "mouth of the wicked" (properly, of a wicked man), "mouth of wickedness." In any case the best English equivalent will be, "a wicked mouth and a deceitful mouth." "A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword" (Whichcote).Spoken against me.--Rather (comp. Psalm 12:3), talked with me.
