O Lord, deliver my soul from the lawless and wicked man,
From the tongue that is lawless and slanderous, and speaketh lies and deceit.
Manifoldly twisted are the words of the tongue of the wicked man,
Even as among a people a fire that burneth up their beauty.
So he delights to fill houses with a lying tongue, to cut down the trees of gladness
which setteth on fire transgressors,
To involve households in warfare by means of slanderous lips.

Solomon asks God to protect us from those who lie and slander, and through their deceit, cause divisiveness,
unhappiness and war.  Not much has changed since Solomon wrote this.  We still have liars and deceivers who try to get us to buy things we don't need, believe things we shouldn't believe, and fight wars over false threats.
Not for much longer though as we are in the End Times.  The fire Solomon refers too is spiritual fire, the Logos, that burns away the evil of ignorance and awakens us to our true nature.
