For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.
-
His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
-
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
-
those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
-
who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
-
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.
-
In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues.
-
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
-
Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.
-
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

What Is the Measure of My Days?
To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
-
My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
-
Your Throne, O God, Is Forever
To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah; a love song.
My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
-
“You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
-
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
-
Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
-
You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
-
Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city.
-
My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
-
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
-
They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
-
I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue.
-
that you may strike your feet in their blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”
-
And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.
-
They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth.
