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

Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep close watch over the door that is my lips.

In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation.

In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

Thy lips refrain from speaking guile, and from ill words thy tongue.

I said, I will look to my ways, lest with my tongue I sin: In sight of wicked men my mouth with bridle I'll keep in.

With silence I as dumb became, I did myself restrain From speaking good; but then the more increased was my pain.

Fill'd let my mouth be with thy praise and honour all day long.
