He calls for help and protection to God, asking the Lord to free him from the liars and misleading languages. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Psalm 120:

Proverbs 6:16-19: "Six things the Lord hates, and the seventh of his soul abominates: haughty eyes, liar language, hands that spill innocent blood, heart that plots wicked projects, rushing feet running to evil, False witness that utters lies and what sows strife between brothers. " This verse addresses the same question as the lying language that is addressed in Psalm 120.

Psalm 52:2: "Why do you glory in evil, O powerful man? For God's goodness is continues." Psalm 52 also talks about the power of language for good or evil, and highlights God's goodness as a response to man's wickedness.

James 3:5-6: "So the tongue is a small member, and boast of great things. See how great woods a small fire fire. Our members, and contaminate the whole body, and ignite the course of nature, and is inflamed by hell.

Psalm 31:18: "Shut up before the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is close; for the Lord has prepared sacrifice, and sanctified his guests." This verse speaks of the importance of silencing before God, recognizing His holiness and power.

Psalm 140:1: "Deliver me, O Lord, of the evil man; keep me from the violent man." Psalm 140 is also a psalm of lamentation that calls for divine protection against the wickedness of men.
