Psalm 5
For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament.
-
And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
-
Psalm 18
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
I love you, Lord, my strength.
-
They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
-
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
-
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
-
The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
-
My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.
-
You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
-
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
-
Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city.
-
His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.
-
All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
-
See what they spew from their mouths— the words from their lips are sharp as swords, and they think, “Who can hear us?”
-
For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter,
-
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
-
Psalm 78
A maskil of Asaph.
My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.
-
They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
-
He sent darkness and made the land dark— for had they not rebelled against his words?
-
for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.
-
With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.
-
ח Heth
You are my portion, Lord; I have promised to obey your words.
-
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
-
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
-
My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.
