Psalm 120:2 (WEB)

Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Fathers and councils · 2

Augustine of Hippo

Leo the Great

  • “And taking heed lest any of the holy flock should perish, we admonish you with fatherly warnings to keep aloof from the “lying lips” and the “deceitful tongue” from which the prophet asks that his soul should be delivered; because “their words,” as says the blessed Apostle, “do creep as doth a gangrene.”” — editor's note: Ps. cxx. 2.
