Psalm 120:2

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.

See the chapter Copy

Malicious and unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.

The [uncompromisingly] righteous also shall see [it] and be in reverent fear and awe, but about you they will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,

Lying lips are extremely disgusting and hateful to the Lord, but they who deal faithfully are His delight. [Prov. 6:17; 11:20; Rev. 22:15.]

For [the city's] rich men are full of violence; her inhabitants have spoken lies and their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
