Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
cut off all flattering lips
(Some words not found in UHB: lies speak (a)_man DOM his/its=neighbour language_of flattering in/on/at/with,heart and,heart speak )
Here “flattering lips” is a metonym for people who flatter others. This could mean: (1) “cut off” is a metaphor for killing. Alternate translation: “kill all who flatter others” or (2) “cut off” is a metaphor for stopping something. Alternate translation: “stop all those who flatter others” (See also: figs-metonymy)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Some words not found in UHB: lies speak (a)_man DOM his/its=neighbour language_of flattering in/on/at/with,heart and,heart speak )
Here “every tongue” represents every person who declares great things. Alternate translation: “every person who boasts”
Ps 12 This community lament seeks the Lord’s help against the prevalence of evil. Because of the Lord’s answer, the godly can face the future knowing that God protects them.
