Psalms 52:4

Psalms 52:4. Thou lovest all devouring words— Hebrew. All the words of devouring, or destruction; O thou deceitful tongue! Or, repeating the word from the foregoing clause, Thou lovest the tongue of deceit; i.e. the deceitful tongue; or such calumnies as are the most pernicious in their nature, and as may most effectually involve others in utter destruction. Houbigant follows the last version.
