whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;
-
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
-
My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
-
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.
-
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
-
My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.
-
The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just.
