John Gill Commentary Psalms 94:4

"They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves." — Psalms 94:4 (ASV)

How long shall they utter and speak hard things? Against Christ, his person and offices, his ministers, his people, his truths and ordinances; this is very applicable to antichrist, who has a mouth speaking blasphemies, and which he opens, and with it blasphemes God, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in it, (Revelation 13:5Revelation 13:6) . The Targum is, ``will they utter and speak reproachful words?'' contumelies or calumnies;

And such are uttered by the antichristian party against the true professors of religion in great abundance, like water from a fountain, which the first word ^F1 used signifies; see (Jude 1:15) ,

and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves ; the just character of the followers of antichrist, who work an abomination, and make a lie, and whose whole course of life, and even of religion, is a series of sin and iniquity, (Revelation 21:27) (22:15) ,

These lift up themselves against the Lord, like the high branches of a tree, as Aben Ezra; or praise themselves, as Jarchi; being proud, they are boasters; boast of their antiquity and precedence, of their wealth and riches, of their power and authority, of infallibility, and works of supererogation, and the like.
