Psalms
"There is no faithfulness in their mouth..."
Day 40 – Psalm 5
“There is no faithfulness in their mouth…” Psalm 5:9a
TWO PERSPECTIVES CONCERNING THE WICKED
Psalm 5 offers two perspectives concerning the wicked.
THE FIRST PERSPECTIVE
The first one describes how God regards the wicked (Psalm 5:4-6). The second one is found in the text below:-
“For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.”
Psalm 5:9
