³ Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

⁵ Don't trust in a neighbor. Don't put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, Be careful of the words of your mouth!

²⁶ If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.

¹ > 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."

³ You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

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

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

¹³ Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

⁸ My mouth shall be filled with your praise, With your honor all the day.

² For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
