Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,I'm sure the original intent of this verse was to ask for protection against those who lie and deceive against the author. It's easy to see this, from the rest of the psalm. He's finding adversaries everywhere, even when asking for peace.
From a deceitful tongue.
However, when I read this, I thought in terms of all-self. How often do I ask God to save me from my own lies, the things I deceive others about? How much do those things harm me, and endanger my witness in the long run?
