Psalm 141:3

The English Standar Version

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!

See the chapter Copy

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

I said, "I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence."

Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;[1]

For we all stumble in many ways, and if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.

I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse.
