6 you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody
6 You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
6 God destroys Lie-Speaker; Blood-Thirsty and Truth-Bender disgust you.
6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
6 You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 5:6
Commentary on Psalm 5:1-6
(Read Psalm 5:1-6)
God is a prayer-hearing God. Such he has always been, and he is still as ready to hear prayer as ever. The most encouraging principle of prayer, and the most powerful plea in prayer, is, to look upon him as our King and our God. David also prays to a sin-hating God. sin is folly, and sinners are the greatest of all fools; fools of their own making. Wicked people hate God; justly are they hated of him, and this will be their endless misery and ruin. Let us learn the importance of truth and sincerity, in all the affairs of life. Liars and murderers resemble the devil, and are his children, therefore it may well be expected that God should abhor them. These were the characters of David's enemies; and such as these are still the enemies of Christ and his people.
