Psalms 144:8

Context

144:8 who speak lies,

and make false promises. 1 

Psalms 144:11

Context

144:11 Grab me and rescue me from the power of foreigners, 2 

who speak lies,

and make false promises. 3 

1 tn Heb “who [with] their mouth speak falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.” The reference to the “right hand” is probably a metonymy for an oath. When making an oath, one would raise the hand as a solemn gesture. See Exod 6:8; Num 14:30; Deut 32:40. The figure thus represents the making of false oaths (false promises).

2 tn Heb “from the hand of the sons of foreignness.”

3 tn Heb “who [with] their mouth speak falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.” See v. 8 where the same expression occurs.
