Psalms 5:9

9. The wicked are not reliable because by nature they are full of wickedness, or literally, "wickednesses," of every kind (Ro 8:7).

sepulchre—a dwelling-place of corruption, emitting moral putridness.

flatter—or, "make smooth."

their tongue—speaks deceitfully.

2. tongue—for self.

mischiefs—evil to others (Ps 5:9; 38:12).

working deceitfully— (Ps 10:7), as a keen, smoothly moving razor, cutting quietly, but deeply.

7. for trusting in riches and being strong in "wickedness."

wickedness—literally, "mischief" (Ps 52:2), instead of trusting in God.

the man—literally, "the mighty man," or "hero" (Ps 52:1).
