Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
