Psalms 116:11

Psalms 116:11. I said in my haste, All men are liars.

You see, he had spoken once in the power of the flesh; it was well, therefore, that he should speak now in the power of faith. "I said in my haste, All men are liars." But it was true for all that, for they will fail us if we trust to them instead of to the Lord; yet, in another sense, they are not all liars, so David retracts the hasty word which might have a double meaning, and might imply what he did not intend, or what he should not mean. See how quickly he turns away from this unpleasant subject; note what comes next.
