3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
Believe not in a friend, trust not in a leader, From her who is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth.
If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain `is' the religion;
Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth. As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer; To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
