39 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 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

³ He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

²³ Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

²⁶ If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
