Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Which imagine mischiefs in their heart (comp. Psalm 28:3; Psalm 36:4; Psalm 62:3). Continually are they gathered together for war; rather, continually do they stir up wars (comp. Psalm 68:30; Psalm 120:7).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Imagine . . .--Or, contrive, plot.Gathered together.--This translation follows the analogy of Psalm 56:6. Others render, "dwell with wars." But it is preferable to derive from a root meaning to incite: "They are continually stirring up wars." It is the situation described in Psalm 120:7 and frequently; Israel would be at peace, but within and without are those ever trying to involve her in troubles.
