"Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt. "
— Psalms 31:18, American Standard Version
“Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.”
“Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.”
“May lying lips be silenced– lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!”
“Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.”
“Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.”
My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.
Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.
Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!
In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Blessed be Jehovah; For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.
