Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I out off. (On the heinousness of slander, see Psalm 15:3; Psalm 31:13; Psalm 50:20, etc.) It is probably not meant that the slanderer will be put to death, but only that he will be banished, at any rate from the court, and, so far as possible, put down. Him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. "Lofty looks" and a "proud heart" are again conjoined in Proverbs 21:4, Solomon showing that he paid attention to his father's lessons. David himself disclaims both in Psalm 131:1.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Whoso . . .--The "informer" and the "haughty favourite" are no unknown characters in an Oriental court.Proud heart.--Literally, broad, that is, extended with pride. (Comp. Proverbs 21:4.) But LXX. and Vulg., "insatiable."Will not I suffer.--In Hebrew a simple and expressive "I cannot," to which we can supply "bear," from Jeremiah 44:22. (Comp. Isaiah 1:13 : "I cannot away with.")
