“Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue“
—Psalm 120:2
Explanation: Psalm 120:2 is like a heartfelt prayer for help in steering clear of lies and the mess they create. It’s asking God to protect us from saying things that aren’t true and from the harm that dishonest words can bring.
This verse teaches us about the power of our words and the importance of using them wisely. By turning to God, we’re seeking His strength to overcome the temptation to lie, and to speak truthfully and kindly instead. It’s a reminder that our words have the power to build up or tear down, and with God’s help, we can choose to use them for good, bringing peace and truth into our conversations with others.
