Lord, lead me in your righteousness.
Because of those who slander me,
make your way straight before me.

Lying Tongues

Nothing reliable comes out of their mouth.
From within them comes destruction.

Let them fall because of their own schemes.
For their many treacherous deeds banish them,
    because they have rebelled against you.
