Psalms 120:3. What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
The Psalmist seems lost to suggest a fitting punishment. It is the worst of offences - this detraction, calumny, and slander. Judgment sharp and crushing would be measured out to it if men were visited for their transgressions. But what punishment could be heavy enough? What will God do with lying tongues? He has uttered his most terrible threats against them, and he will terribly execute them in due time.
