Verse 26. The thoughts of the wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure have pleasant words.
Verse 26. The thoughts of the wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure haue pleasant words.
THE thoughts of the wicked] Their desires, affections, purposes, imaginations, and all the motions of their minds: [are abomination to the Lord] such as he presently beholdeth with detestation, and hereafter will punish with great severity: [but the pure] godly men, whose hearts are purified by faith, and which are upright in their ways, [have pleasant words] they speak such things as are just and acceptable in the sight of God, and good and profitable for the use of the hearers.
