Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak arrogantly against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

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

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

You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.

I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait,
And in His word do I hope.
