7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house. Deceit among most Orientals is reckoned to be a virtue, and is only
censured when it is not sufficiently cunning, and therefore comes to be found
out; it is therefore all the more remarkable that David should have so
determinedly set his face against it. He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Grace makes people truthful, and creates in them an utter
horror of everything approaching to falsehood. If David would not have a liar
in his sight, much less will the Lord.
