EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS
Verse 9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues. In the first place, their tongues were truly destroyed and they themselves divided, when the testimony of the two false witnesses agreed not so together. Then secondly, by the contradictory account of the soldiers that kept watch at the sepulchre. Michael Ayguan (1416) in J. M. Neal's Commentary, 1860.
Verse 9. Divide their tongues: i.e., cause them to give conflicting opinions. French and Skinner, 1842
HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS
Verse 9. (first clause). The Babel of heresies. Essential, for truth is one. Inevitable, for the motives of heretics clash. Providential, for so they weaken each other. Judicial, for so they torment each other.
