Psalms120:3
3 What shall be given unto thee ? or what be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
Whosoever thou art who art guilty of these practices. He applies himself severally to the consciences of every one of them. Or, he designs Doeg or some other person in Sauls Court eminent for this wickedness. The sence may be this, It is true, thou dost me some mischief. But what benefit dost thou get by it, if all thy accounts be cast up? For although thou mayst thereby obtain some favour and advantage from Saul, yet thou wilt assuredly bring upon thy self the curse and vengeance of God; and then thou wilt be no gainer by the bargain. And to do mischief to another without benefit to thy self, is an inhumane and diabolical wickedness.
