Hi Jennifer. The superscription of 'Song of Degrees' is found in Psalms 120-134, and translated from the Hebrew, it is 'a Song of Ascents'. There are various interpretations given to this phrase, but it seems most likely that these were specific Psalms (or, Pilgrim songs) that were sung by Israel as they traveled to Jerusalem to attend their feasts. The meaning may have coincided with the steps, or paces, they took in their walk or climb towards Jerusalem. Why these particular Psalms & not others were sung, I cannot explain.
It is true that there are penalties and punishments for lying. And anyone saying do not judge someone or their heart for their lies are not speaking by the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth and he is the Spirit of God. God hates lying so much that he said in Revelations that whosoever, make and love a lie shall not enter into heaven.
Revelation 21
KJV
27+ And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22
KJV
15+ For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
We must judge righteous judgment. The Bible says that we will judge the world then why come we cannot judge the works both bad and good of others. It is unscriptural not to judge what is coming out of someone's spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you to help you. For it is dangerous not to try a spirit but to believe every spirit. The Holy Spirit in us is our measuring rod that let's us know when a standard is not of the Lord. And no lie or liar is of the Lord. People have been destroyed and even literally killed because of a lying and deceitful tongue. I find the scripture Psalms 120 in my morning devotion to be right on the mark. I have an acquaintance that lies to get everything she need, wants, and desires. But she say that she is Born-Again. However, this morning before reading my devotion the Holy Spirit was revealing to me that she is a liar and it is going too land her in trouble then in hell if she does not change. But? How will she turn from her ways if she does not hear the Word of God on this matter. She has stop going to church and only listens to false teachers that God told her to depart from long ago. Some of these false teachers were caught and reported to Rip Off. However, she still remain among them. Therefore, it is our reasonable services to pray but then we act. Shalom!!
Yet the LORD JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOUR will save those whom He will save and cannot be subdued by lies. God's wrath is for the children of disobedience who do love a lie. Psalms 120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
