Psalm 62 (KJV)
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
Ryrie footnote: ye shall be slain. Better, that you may slay him. Through lies David's enemies attempted to overthrow him in his weakened condition (bowing, i.e., leaning, and tottering).
11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Psalm 64 (KJV)
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
The 64:3 footnote mentioned Psalm 59:7. I read it, went back to 64. Decided to go back to 59, but went back to 55, and was drawn to 55:21
Psalm 55 (KJV)
21The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
Psalm 59 (KJV)
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
And from this morning. The opposite of enemies and lies:
Psalm 66:16 (KJV)
16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
