3 who idoes not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
What Is the Measure of My Days?
To the choirmaster: to nJeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 I said, “I will guard my ways,
that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will oguard my mouth with a muzzle,
so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
3 jSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
kkeep watch over the door of my lips!
3 Whoever wguards his mouth preserves his life;
he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
23 Whoever wkeeps his mouth and his tongue
keeps himself out of trouble.
26 qIf anyone thinks he is religious and does not rbridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
2 bFor we all cstumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to dbridle his whole body.
A Living Stone and a Holy People
1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
22 cHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.
