Paul isn't asserting that all men ARE liars, but rather that it would be better if they were considered so than to hold that God is untrue.

Look at the context of that statement. The whole verse is
"I said in my haste, 'All men are liars'.”
By omitting the beginning of the verse, a word spoken in haste is made to seem like an objective statement of fact. The Psalmist admits he spoke rashly in a moment of affliction. [v.10]
