Psalms 50:19-20

50:19 You do damage with words,

and use your tongue to deceive.

50:20 You plot against your brother;

you slander your own brother.


tn Heb “your mouth you send with evil.”

tn Heb “and your tongue binds together [i.e., “frames”] deceit.”

tn Heb “you sit, against your brother you speak.” To “sit” and “speak” against someone implies plotting against that person (see Ps 119:23).

tn Heb “against the son of your mother you give a fault.”
