Psalm 141:3

New King James Version

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.

See the chapter Copy

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

I said, “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”

Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth From her who lies in your bosom.

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.

Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day.

I was mute with silence, I held my peace even from good; And my sorrow was stirred up.
