David
Psalm 55:14ESV·superscription

We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

We took sweet counsel together, soul speaking to soul, and walked into God's house in common worship. Shame on the wretch who could betray such tender confidence and defile the very altar with his hypocrisy. Judas was the firstborn of hell for uniting with the Lord in His holiest work only to serve his own abominable ends.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Jerusalem fell into rebellion with Absalom and became a harlot, her streets filled with nothing but violence and strife day and night. Where once was loyalty and love, there remained only wickedness legalized, deceit and guile never departing from her. The royal city, the holy city, became a den of mutual wrong and vexation.

Commenting on Psalm 55:9-15

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Let death seize upon them as a mighty creditor exacting the debt of punishment for sin, and let them go down quick into hell in their full strength, as Korah did. Wickedness dwells in their hearts and houses; it is the reigning principle of their lives, and the reason for this imprecation, which arises from zeal for God's glory.
