³ Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

⁵ Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

²⁶ If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.

¹ I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

³ Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

⁴ As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

⁵ My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.

⁸ My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

² For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
