To the chief H5329 Musician, H5329 even to Jeduthun, H3038 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732 I said, H559 I will take heed H8104 to my ways, H1870 that I sin H2398 not with my tongue: H3956 I will keep H8104 my mouth H6310 with a bridle, H4269 while H5750 the wicked H7563 is before H5048 me.

Death H4194 and life H2416 are in the power H3027 of the tongue: H3956 and they that love H157 it shall eat H398 the fruit H6529 thereof.

A good G18 man G444 out of the good G18 treasure G2344 of the heart G2588 brings G1544 forth G1544 good G18 things: and an evil G4190 man G444 out of the evil G4190 treasure G2344 brings G1544 forth evil G4190 things.

For by your words G3056 you shall be justified, G1344 and by your words G3056 you shall be condemned. G2613

Why, G5620 my beloved G27 brothers, G80 let every G3956 man G444 be swift G5036 to hear, G191 slow G1021 to speak, G2980 slow G1021 to wrath: G3709

If G1487 any G1536 man among G1722 you seem G1380 to be religious, G2357 and bridles G5468 not his tongue, G1100 but deceives G538 his own G848 heart, G2588 this G5127 man's religion G2356 is vain. G3152

For in many G4183 things we offend G4417 all. G537 If G1487 any G1536 man offend G4417 not in word, G3056 the same G3778 is a perfect G5046 man, G435 and able G1415 also G2532 to bridle G5469 the whole G3650 body. G4983

Even G2532 so G3779 the tongue G1100 is a little G3398 member, G3196 and boasts G3166 great G3166 things. Behold, G2400 how G2245 great G2245 a matter G5208 a little G3641 fire G4442 kindles! G381

For every G3956 kind G5449 of beasts, G2342 and of birds, G4071 and of serpents, G2062 and of things in the sea, G1724 is tamed, G1150 and has been tamed G1150 of mankind G5449

Therewith G1722 G846 bless G2127 we God, G2316 even the Father; G3962 and therewith G1722 G846 curse G2672 we men, G444 which G3588 are made G1096 after G2596 the similitude G3669 of God. G2316

Wickedness H1942 is in the middle H7130 thereof: deceit H8496 and guile H4820 depart H4185 not from her streets. H7339

The wicked H7563 are overthrown, H2015 and are not: but the house H1004 of the righteous H6662 shall stand. H5975

The lip H8193 of truth H571 shall be established H3559 for ever: H5703 but a lying H8367 tongue H3956 is but for a moment. H7281

Lying H8367 lips H8193 are abomination H8441 to the LORD: H3068 but they that deal H6213 truly H530 are his delight. H7522

A false H8267 witness H5707 shall not be unpunished, H5352 and he that speaks H6315 lies H3576 shall perish. H6

For he said, H559 Surely H389 they are my people, H5971 children H1121 that will not lie: H8266 so he was their Savior. H3467

Lie G5574 not one G240 to another, G240 seeing that you have put G554 off G554 the old G3820 man G444 with his deeds; G4234

Why G3767 laying G659 aside G659 all G3956 malice, G2549 and all G3956 guile, G1388 and hypocrisies, G5272 and envies, G5355 all G3956 evil G2636 speakings, G2636

Who G3739 did G4160 no G3756 sin, G266 neither G3761 was guile G1388 found G2147 in his mouth: G4750

These G3778 are they which G3739 were not defiled G3435 with women; G1135 for they are virgins. G3933 These G3778 are they which G3588 follow G190 the Lamb G721 wherever G3699 G302 he goes. G5217 These G3778 were redeemed G59 from among men, G444 being the first fruits G536 to God G2316 and to the Lamb. G721

And in their mouth G4750 was found G2147 no G3756 guile: G1388 for they are without G299 fault G299 before G1799 the throne G2362 of God. G2316
