John Gill Commentary Psalms 52:4

"Thou lovest all devouring words, thou deceitful tongue." — Psalms 52:4 (ASV)

You love all devouring words
Or "words of swallowing up" ^F25 ; such as lies, calumnies, and detractions are, which devour the characters and reputations of men, and are the cause sometimes of their utter ruin and destruction; of the devouring and blasphemous words of antichrist see (Revelation 13:5Revelation 13:6) ;

O [thou] deceitful tongue; (See Gill on Psalms 52:2).
