Set, O Jehovah, a watch to my mouth; guard over the door of my lips.
Watch thy tongue from evil; and thy lips from speaking deceit
To the overseer, to Jeduthun: chanting of David. I said, I will watch my way from sinning with my tongue: I will watch for my mouth with a muzzle while yet the unjust one is before me.
I was dumb with silence, I was silent from good, and my pain was moved.
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, thy magnificence all the day.
Ye shall not trust in a companion, ye shall not confide in a friend: watch the doors of thy mouth from her lying in thy bosom.
If any among you seem to be religious, bridling not his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one vain.
For in many things we all stumble. If any stumble not in word, this a perfect man, able to govern by a bridle also the whole body.
