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.
-
But then they would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with their tongues;
-
for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
-
Psalm 114
When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
-
May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.
-
Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
-
What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue?
-
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
-
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
-
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
-
They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.
-
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
-
Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.
