{\b For the Chief Musician, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab I said, I will take heed to my ways,\par\tab That I sin not with my tongue:\par\tab I will keep my mouth with a bridle,\par\tab While the wicked is before me.

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
Keep thy tongue from evil,\par\tab And thy lips from speaking guile.
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,\par\tab And with thy honor all the day.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good;\par\tab And my sorrow was stirred.
