Psalms 5:6

4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil¹ dwell with You.

5 The ^aboastful shall not ^bstand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.

6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the ^abloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward¹ Your holy temple.

8 ^aLead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.

Psalms 5:6

That speak leasing - Falsity, from the Anglo-Saxon leasunge , a lie, falsity, deceit; from leas , lie, which is from the verb leasian to lie. See on Psalms 4:2 (note).

The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man - ish damim , the man of bloods; for he who has the spirit of a murderer, will rarely end with one bloodshedding. So the Jews, who clamored for the blood of our Lord, added to that, as far and as long as they could, the blood of his disciples.
