There are 2 types of people mentioned in this psalm
1) people who lie (V 2)
2) people of who fights. (V 7)
Lies and Fights are always interconnected.
Famous american lies are:
1) I will start my diet tomorrow
2) Give me your number, the doctor will call you right back
3) Please come home some time.
4) This offer is limited to first 100 people.
Preacher about sin of lying.
Whenever there is a fight between 2 , you would definitely know that somebody is lying.
1) people of lying lips and deceitful tongue.
Verse 2: Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips
And from a deceitful tongue.
The psalmist says Lord I am in the midst of people who always lie.
Even today we live among people who lie.
We see people around us at workplaces, neighbors, and even Churches.
When did this all lies started?
Genesis 2:16
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
God said if you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall surely die.
Genesis 3: 3,4
Isaiah 6:5
Isaiah when he saw the King , in His presence he says woe is me, for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips.
When we come to presence of God, 2 things are revealed.
1) the condition of our lips.
2) the condition of people among whom we dwell.
When Isaiah saw the King, he is revealed of the condition of his lips and he says i am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.
You have to see the King, You have to be in the presence of God.
Do you spend time in Presence of God?
When Elisha asked Elijah for double portion of anointing, What is the condition that Elijah applied? Elijah did not ask to fast and pray but he said only if you see me.
Your see things differently than world when you spend time in presence of God. only when Isaiah saw the Presence of God the Truth about him and the Truth about his people was revealed?

Genesis 3: 3,4
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
Now the serpent said you will not surely die.
What comes from the mouth of God is Truth. Even today what comes from the Word of God, what is led by the Holy Spirit of God is Truth.
Even if your closest friend says or if a family member or if majority says also,
Anything against the Word of God, that is a lie.
Let God be True and every man be a liar.
Even if media says don't believe it , as President Trump puts it its all Fake news.
In the midst of the this fake news, all fake stuff, how do you recognize Truth.
Only Holy Spirit. our dwelling in the Presence of God will reveal the Truth. our dependence on God reveals the Truth.
5 So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
Isaiah when he saw the King , in His presence he says woe is me, for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips.

2 Kings 2: 9,10
9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”
Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
