Behold, they gush forth with their mouths; Swords are in their lips, For, they say, “Who hears?”

On account of the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, May they even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they tell.

They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah

My soul is satisfied as with fat and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.

May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me.

My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the art of writing.

They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth.

God’s Guidance of His People in Spite of Their Unfaithfulness.

A Maskil of Asaph.

Listen, my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will tell riddles of old,

Yet before they had abandoned their longing, While their food was in their mouths,

But they flattered Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.

I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

The Lord’s Covenant with David and Israel’s Afflictions.

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

I will sing of the graciousness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth.

Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments spoken by His mouth,

The upright see it and are glad; But all injustice shuts its mouth.

For they have opened a wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the Lord; And I will praise Him in the midst of many.

They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;

With my lips I have told of All the ordinances of Your mouth.

And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I wait for Your judgments.

The Law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
