Psalms 144:8

who speak lies, and make false promises. ¹ 

whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie.

Who lie through their teeth, who shake your hand then knife you in the back.

In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.

whose mouths speak lies, and whose right hands are false.

Whose mouth speaks vain words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

who speak lies, and make false promises. ¹ 

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).
