Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.

Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.

This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

Against thee, thee alone, did I sin, and I did evil in thine eyes: so that thou wilt be justified in thy speaking, and thou wilt be pure in thy judging.
