Psalm 94:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 94:4

How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
Against Christ, his person and offices, his ministers, his people, his truths and ordinances; this is very applicable to antichrist, who has a mouth speaking blasphemies, and which he opens, and with it blasphemes God, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in it, ( Revelation 13:5 Revelation 13:6 ) . The Targum is,

``will they utter and speak reproachful words?''

contumelies or calumnies; and such are uttered by the antichristian party against the true professors of religion in great abundance, as water out of a fountain, as the first word ^F1 used signifies; see ( Jude 1:15 ) ,

and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves;
the just character of the followers of antichrist, who work an abomination, and make a lie, and whose whole course of life, and even of religion, is a series of sin and iniquity, ( Revelation 21:27 ) ( 22:15 ) , these lift up themselves against, the Lord, like the high branches of a tree, as Aben Ezra; or praise themselves, as Jarchi; being proud, they are boasters; boast of their antiquity and precedence, of their wealth and riches, of their power and authority, of infallibility, and works of supererogation, and the like.
