( Psalms 35:15 ), the translation of a Hebrew word meaning smiters; probably, in allusion to the tongue, slanderers. (Compare Jeremiah 18:18 .)
Those who strike out with their tongue.But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the ABJECTS gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. ( Psalm 35:15-16 )
