Commentary on Psalms 41:6

Theological / Devotional

If he come. Spoken of one of the enemies, who, if he calls on the sick man, speaks hypocritical words, gathers material for doing him wrong, and carries slanderous tales out of the sickroom. This is a graphic picture of one who poses as a friend, but is the worst of enemies.

Speaketh vanity. Or, “speaketh emptiness.” His good wishes are hollow.
