Lying Lips

 Psalm 120

English Standard Version (ESV)

Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of Ascents.

120 

In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.

2 

Deliver me, O Lord,
    from lying lips,
    from a deceitful tongue.

3 

What shall be given to you,
    and what more shall be done to you,
    you deceitful tongue?

4 

A warrior's sharp arrows,
    with glowing coals of the broom tree!

5 

Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
    that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 

Too long have I had my dwelling
    among those who hate peace.

7 

I am for peace,
    but when I speak, they are for war!

Do you ever wonder what people say about you?  Are they lies?  Often times we want to defend ourselves yet God’s word tells us that He is the One to deliver us from lying lips.  We need to be concerned that we speak the truth and have peace with the truth.  Lying lips are like burning coals that start of slowly but the fire gets hotter and hotter.  We have to dwell in this world until the Lord is finished with our work.  We will dwell amongst those who lie, cheat, and destroy but God is ultimately the One that will judge and He is the One that knows the truth.

Seek Him that your lips may be pure and your path may be straight in this world of deception.

Seeking Him with all  my heart,
