Psalm 109:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

I have heard the whispering of many people, terror on every side, while they made plans together against me. They were plotting to take my life.

Their words cut like swords, and their cruel remarks sting like sharp arrows.

They make their tongues as sharp as a snake's fang. Their lips hide the venom of poisonous snakes.

Absalom would say: My friend, the law is on your side. However, there is no representative of the king to hear your case.

Later Ahithophel said to Absalom: Let me choose twelve thousand men. Tonight I will set out after David.

The heart of the righteous studies how to answer. The mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

The chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus. They wanted to put him to death.

You deceitful tongue, what can Jehovah give you? What more can he do for you?

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

The lip of truth will be established forever. A lying tongue is only for a moment.

They bend their tongue like their bow. Lies and not truth prevail in the land. They move from evil to evil. They do not know me, says Jehovah.

They brought false witnesses, which said: This man will not stop speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
