Verse 15. Iniquity. Hebrew “a lie.” All the labour of the wicked ends in smoke. See Mic. 2:1. Isaiah 59:4. Bible.—The psalmist sometimes speaks of many enemies, and sometimes of one, who was the chief. Yet what he says of him must, according to the genius of the Hebrew language, be applied to the rest. Bert.—Saul, ( Calmet.) Absalom, and Achitophel, each found their ruin, in their unjust attempts. Bible.—They had injustice in view, and were actuated by envy, which destroyed them. Worthington.
