Psalm 141:3

World Messianic Bible British Edition

Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

See the chapter Copy

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”

I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honour all day long.

Don’t trust in a neighbour. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!

If anyone amongst you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
