"Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Thou lovest evil more than good,.... Indeed not good at all; such comparatives being strong negatives; see Psa 118:8 ; a wicked man loves evil, and nothing else; his carnal
mind being enmity to all that is good and lying rather than to speak righteousness; as appears by his affirming that Ahimelech inquired of the Lord for David, when he did not, Sa1 22:10 ; and by suffering some things to pass for truths which were falsehoods, when it lay in his power to have disproved them: and such a lover of lies is antichrist; see Ti1 4:2 . Selah; on this word; see Gill on Psa 3:2 . The Targum renders the word "Selah" here "for ever", as in Psa 52:5 .
