Psalm 39:1
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.”
Proverbs 13:3
3 Whoever wguards his mouth preserves his life;
he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
James 3:2–3
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. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.
