Theological / Devotional

Leasing. See on Ps. 4:2. This Old English word for “lie” is found only in these two verses in the KJV.

Abhor. God holds sin in such abomination that He cannot overlook its presence in the sinner. Those whom God abhors are literally “men of bloods and deceit.” The plural form “bloods” refers to bloodguiltiness or murder (see Gen. 4:10). David’s enemies are distinguished for fraud and murder.
