Psalms 59:7

“Behold, they belch out with their mouth, etc.] Bark like dogs, so Aben Ezra; or “bubble out” f792, as a fountain bubbles out with water; so they cast out their wickedness in great abundance; (see <240607>Jeremiah 6:7); the phrase denotes the abundance of evil things and wicked speeches that came out of their mouths, which showed the naughtiness of their hearts; so David’s enemies blustered and threatened what they would do to him could they find him; and Christ’s enemies poured out their wicked charges of blasphemy and sedition against him, in great plenty, and without proof; swords [are] in their lips; the words of their lips were like sharp swords; (see <195521>Psalm 55:21 57:4);…”

“for who, say they--For the full expression with the supplied words, compare Psa 64:5.”

“Behold, they belch out with their mouth - The word rendered “belch out” means properly to boil forth; to gush out, to flow; and then, to pour forth copiously, or in a running stream, as a fountain does. Hence, the word means also to pour out “words” - words that flow freely - words of folly, abuse, or reproach. Proverbs 15:2, “the mouth of fools poureth out (Margin, belcheth or babbleth) foolishness.” Proverbs 15:28, “the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things;” that is, “gushes over” with wicked things - as a fountain overflows. In this place, the word means that the enemies of David who were in pursuit of his life, poured out reproaches and threatenings like a gushing fountain. Swords…”

“Pour out - Sharp and bitter word's, abundantly and vehemently, as a fountain doth waters, as this word signifies. Swords - Words as keen and mischievous as swords. For who - David doth not hear us, and God either doth not hear, or not regard what we say. Psalms 59:10”
