Psalm 120:2

Bible in Basic English 1965

O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

See the chapter Copy

False lips are hated by the Lord, but those whose acts are true are his delight.

False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.
