The psalmist calls for the silencing of the lying lips and the deceiving tongue that speak against the righteous. The focus emphasizes the specific weapon of the psalmist's enemies: false speech and slander. The verbs "be silent" suggest the cessation of the destructive power of false testimony. The phrase "speak insolently" suggests arrogant and presumptuous speech. This verse calls for divine judgment against the weapons of the wicked: their false speech must be stopped.
