Adonai, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
Violent witnesses rise up. They question me about things I know nothing about.
You love only devouring words— treacherous tongue!
Lying lips are detestable to Adonai, but those who act faithfully are His delight.
For the rich of the city are full of violence and its inhabitants speak lies. Their tongue in their mouth is deceit.
