To the Chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked are before me.

Let my mouth be filled with Your praise, with Your honor all the day.
Put no trust in a friend; put no hope in a guide; keep the door of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom.

For in many things we all offend. If anyone does not offend in word, the same is a full-grown man, able also to bridle the whole body.
