-
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.
-
His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
-
May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—
-
those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
-
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.

Psalm 39
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.”
-
my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
-
Psalm 45
For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. A wedding song.
My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
-
You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
-
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
-
You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor.
-
You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue!
-
I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
-
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
-
He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
-
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
-
that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes, while the tongues of your dogs have their share.”
-
My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
-
Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
