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.
-
But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.
-
For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.
-
My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
-
Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
-
What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?
-
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
-
Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy!
-
Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
-
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah
-
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
-
to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
-
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
