Psalm 59:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly, they will be wounded.

Pay back sevenfold to our neighbors
the reproach they have hurled at You, Lord.

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

When those who surround me rise up,
may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.

An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech,
but a righteous one escapes from trouble.

A fool’s mouth is his devastation,
and his lips are a trap for his life.

I tell you that on the day of judgment people will have to account for every careless word they speak.

All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

In arrogance the wicked relentlessly pursue the afflicted;
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

you have been trapped by the words of your lips—
ensnared by the words of your mouth.

The righteousness of the upright rescues them,
but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.

He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.

Cursing, lying, murder, stealing,
and adultery are rampant;
one act of bloodshed follows another.

But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where He started even to here.”

He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.

Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
