Psalms 31:6

I have hated Better, as R.V., I hate. He disclaims all sympathy and fellowship with the worshippers of false gods. But the LXX, Vulg., Syr., Jer. read, thou hatest (cp. Psalms 5:5). This reading gives the contrast required by the next line, which must be rendered, but as for me, I trust in Jehovah.

that regard lying vanities Cp. Jonah 2:8. False gods are vanities of nothingness, having no real existence, and deluding their worshippers; the exact opposite of the God of truth, Who IS, and constantly proves His faithfulness (Deuteronomy 32:4; Deuteronomy 32:21). Vanityis a common expression for false gods in Jeremiah (Jeremiah 8:19; &c.). For regard= pay respect to, worship, see Psalms 59:9 (A.V. wait upon); Hosea 4:10 (A.V. take heed to).
