2 Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
11 oMalicious1 witnesses rise up;
they ask me of things that I do not know.
2 Your dtongue plots destruction,
like ea sharp razor, you fworker of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good,
and glying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.
Help Me, O Lord My God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 tBe not silent, O uGod of my praise!
2 For wicked and vdeceitful mouths are opened against me,
speaking against me with lying tongues.
Deliver Me, O Lord, from Evil Men
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 yDeliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
preserve me from zviolent men,
2 who plan evil things in their heart
and astir up wars continually.
22 hLying lips are ian abomination to the Lord,
jbut those who act faithfully are his delight.

What is it that these men testify against you?”2
