In biblical context, lying is consistently condemned (<a href="/proverbs/6-16.htm">Proverbs 6:16-19</a>, <a href="/revelation/21-8.htm">Revelation 21:8</a>). The destruction of liars reflects God's commitment to truth, as He is the God of truth (<a href="/isaiah/65-16.htm">Isaiah 65:16</a>). The Hebrew word for "destroy" can imply both physical and spiritual ruin, indicating the seriousness of deceit. Historically, lying was not only a moral failing but also a social one, undermining community trust. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative where truth is foundational to God's covenant with His people (<a href="/exodus/20-16.htm">Exodus 20:16</a>).<p><b>the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.</b><br>This phrase highlights God's disdain for violence and treachery. "Abhors" indicates a deep, moral repulsion. Bloodshed refers to murder and violence, which are condemned throughout Scripture (<a href="/genesis/9-6.htm">Genesis 9:6</a>, <a href="/proverbs/6-17.htm">Proverbs 6:17</a>). Deceit, paired with bloodshed, suggests a person who uses treachery to harm others, reminiscent of figures like Cain (Genesis 4) and Judas Iscariot (<a href="/matthew/26-14.htm">Matthew 26:14-16</a>). The cultural context of ancient Israel placed a high value on community integrity, and such actions would disrupt societal harmony. This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate judgment against sin, fulfilled in Christ's victory over sin and death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-54.htm">1 Corinthians 15:54-57</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>- The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/5.htm">Psalm 5</a>, David is expressing his reliance on God for justice and protection against his enemies.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>- The covenant name of God, emphasizing His holiness and justice.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a></b><br>- Those who are deceitful and bloodthirsty, representing the enemies of David and, by extension, the enemies of God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_righteous.htm">The Righteous</a></b><br>- Implicit in the text as those who are contrasted with the wicked, seeking God's favor and protection.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a></b><br>- While not directly mentioned in this verse, the context of the Psalm suggests a setting of worship and prayer, possibly in or near the temple.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_holiness_and_justice.htm">God's Holiness and Justice</a></b><br>God’s nature is inherently opposed to deceit and violence.
