Psalm 144:8

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Whose mouth speaks vanity; And their right hand is a right hand that works deceitfully.

See the chapter Copy

Unto his neighbour ev'ry one doth utter vanity: They with a double heart do speak, and lips of flattery.

To see me if he comes, he speaks vain words: but then his heart Heaps mischief to it, which he tells, when forth he doth depart.

They only plot to cast him down from his excellency: They joy in lies; with mouth they bless, but they curse inwardly.

Therefore in desert them to slay he lifted up his hand:

The wicked men estranged are, ev'n from the very womb; They, speaking lies, do stray as soon as to the world they come.

His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit, is fill'd abundantly; And underneath his tongue there is mischief and vanity.
