When I was younger I remember often finding myself caught in a sin, and I would often attempt to lie to get out of trouble. Very rarely would this work. It was often pretty obvious that I was to blame, and that the cat did not break that lamp, teapot, or other household decoration. It did work sometimes, but God knew.
Verse 5 says:
"A false witness will not go unpunished,
and the one who spouts out lies will not escape punishment.”
The key is confession and repentance not lies. Admit to your faults, and then repent of them. We see that God values honesty, and in reality so do people, let us strive for honesty then.
