Leasing:
lez'-ing (kazabh "to devise," "to fabricate," hence, "to lie"; occurs but twice in the King James Version (Ps 4:2, the Revised Version (British and American) "falsehood"; 5:6, the Revised Version (British and American) "lies"); the Hebrew word is translated "liars" (Ps 116:11); "lie" or deceive (Job 6:28)): The idea of treachery, lying, and deceit, lies at the root of this word. Joab's conduct is a good illustration of the meaning (2Sa 3:27; 20:8-10). In Ps 5:6 David is referring to the cunning, treachery, and falsehood of his adversaries; compare 2Sa 13:28; 15:7-9. Doubtless David had a special person in mind as being guilty of "leasing," probably Ahithophel.
Written by William Evans
Leasing: Falsehood; Deceit.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak LEASING: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. (Psalm 5:5-6)
Leasing:
(falsehood.) This word is retained in the Authorized Version of Psalm 4:2; 5:6 from the older English versions; but the Hebrew word of which it is the rendering is elsewhere almost uniformly translated "lies." (Psalm 40:4; 58:3 etc.).
