Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.

You love all words that devour, You deceitful tongue.

Confuse them, Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who devour, Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue is a sharp sword.

Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,

So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake their heads.

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

So that your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”

My tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek my harm.

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

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

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

Let my tongue sing about Your word, For all Your commandments are righteousness.

Rescue my soul, Lord, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.

What will He give to you, and what more will He do to you, You deceitful tongue?

Then our mouth was filled with laughter And our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they 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 exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, Lord, You know it all.

They sharpen their tongues like a snake; The venom of a viper is under their lips. Selah

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,

To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the foreign woman.

The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little.

The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom, But the perverted tongue will be cut out.

There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
