7. Behold, they belch out with their mouth. The
noisy creatures are so remarkable in their way, that attention is called to
them with a behold. Their malicious speech gushes from them as from a
bubbling fountain. The wicked are voluble in slander; their vocabulary of abuse
is copious. Swords are in their lips. They speak daggers. For who, say they, doth hear? They fear no God in heaven, and the government on
earth is with them. When people have none to call them to account, there is no
accounting for what they will do. The Saulites swore at the upstart whom the
king’s majesty had sent them to arrest. When they said, Who doth hear?,
God was listening, and this David knew, and therefore took courage.
