Remove me from the path of deceit! Graciously give me your law!

All your commands are reliable. I am pursued without reason. Help me!

I hate and despise deceit; I love your law.

See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies –

A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.

But those who are my enemies for no reason are numerous; those who hate me without cause outnumber me.

You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

May the arrogant be humiliated, for they have slandered me! But I meditate on your precepts.

Your precepts give me discernment. Therefore I hate all deceitful actions.

You despise all who stray from your statutes, for they are deceptive and unreliable.

I said, “O Lord, rescue me from those who lie with their lips and those who deceive with their tongue.

who speak lies, and make false promises.

Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me.

May lying lips be silenced – lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!

Do not let those who are my enemies for no reason gloat over me! Do not let those who hate me without cause carry out their wicked schemes!

Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence.

For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me.

Arrogant people smear my reputation with lies, but I observe your precepts with all my heart.

For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions.

Grab me and rescue me from the power of foreigners, who speak lies, and make false promises.
