TETH
You have done many good things for me, LORD, just as you promised.
I believe in your commands;
now teach me good judgment and knowledge.
I used to wander off until you disciplined me;
but now I closely follow your word.
You are good and only do good;
teach me your decrees.
Arrogant people smear me with lies,
but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
Their hearts are dull and stupid,
but I delight in your instructions.
My suffering was good for me,
for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
Your instructions are more valuable to me
than millions in gold and silver.
Arrogant people smear me with lies, but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
Psalm 120:1-2
I took my troubles to the LORD;
I cried out to him and he answered my prayer.
Rescue me, O LORD, from liars
and from all deceitful people. (see all Psalm 120)
Psalm 109:1-2
O God, whom I praise,
don't stand silent and aloof
while the wicked slander me
and tell lies about me. (see all Psalm 109)
Psalm 43:1
Declare me innocent, O God!
Defend me against these ungodly people.
Rescue me from these unjust liars. (see all Psalm 43)
Psalm 31:18
Silence their lying lips--
those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly. (see all Psalm 31)
Psalm 5:9
My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
Their tongues are filled with flattery. (see all Psalm 5)
