UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

Their mouths speak lies

(Some words not found in UHB: which/who mouths,them he/it_had_said lies and,right_hand,whose right_hand false )

Here the word “mouths” represent the people who speak. Alternate translation: “They speak lies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

their right hand is falsehood

(Some words not found in UHB: which/who mouths,them he/it_had_said lies and,right_hand,whose right_hand false )

This could mean: (1) David speaks of the custom of raising the right hand to swear that what one is about to say in court is true, “they lie even when they swear to tell the truth,” or (2) the “right hand” is a metaphor for power, “everything they have gotten, they have gotten by telling lies.”
