"May lying lips be silenced– lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!"
— Psalms 31:18, NET Bible
“Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.”
“Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt. ”
“Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride 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.”
You determine my destiny! Rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who chase me.
Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!
O LORD, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!
May lying lips be silenced– lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!
How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you.
You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.
The LORD deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies.
