Psalms On Lying Lips And Deceitful Tongue

Words can ruin one’s life. Worst, if it is an all out lie.

Keep out from people of deceitful tongue.

Peace. Choose it; rather than war.

“Songs Of Ascents”

A song of ascents. To Hashem, in my distress I cried and He answered me.
120:1
Hashem, rescue my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
120:2
What can He give you, and what can He add to you, O deceitful tongue?
120:3
[You are like] the sharp arrows of the mighty; with coals of rotem-wood.
:4

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.
2 O Lord, save my soul from false lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3 What can He give you, and what can He add to you, you deceitful tongue?
4 Sharpened arrows of a mighty man with coals of brooms.
5 Woe is to me for I have sojourned in Meshech; I dwelt among the tents of Kedar.
6 For a long time, my soul dwelt with those who hate peace.
7 I am at peace, but when I speak, they [come] to [wage] war.
