Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination? And you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken.
For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.
But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
Their quiver is as an open sepulchre: they are all valiant.
Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
Their wine is the gall of dragons, and the venom of asps, which is incurable.
All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
