Psalms 62:4 - Exposition

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency; i . e . they have no other thought but this—to cast me down from my high station, while I have no other thought but to trust in God, and to look to him for support and protection ( Psalms 62:1 , Psalms 62:2 , Psalms 62:6 ). They delight in lies. Some indication of the "lies" circulated against David at this Time is given in 2 Samuel 15:3-5 ; 2 Samuel 16:7 , 2 Samuel 16:8 . They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly; literally, they bless with his mouth, which may be explained as meaning either, "They bless, each of them, with his mouth" (Kay, Cheyne), or "they Bless through the mouth of their leader "— i . e . Ahithophel (Canon Cook).
