Silence. — As a different word is used from that rendered silent in Psalms 31:17, translate let the lying lips be made dumb.

Grievous. — Better, arrogant, as in 1 Samuel 2:3. (Comp. Psalms 94:4.) So in Psalms 75:5, “a stiff neck” is a neck thrown impudently back.

Proudly and contemptuously. — Literally, in pride and contempt.
