rescuing you from the way of evil—
from the one who says perverse things,

All the words of my mouth are righteous;
none of them are deceptive or perverse.

To fear the Lord is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,

The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom,
but a perverse tongue will be cut out.

The lips of the righteous know what is appropriate,
but the mouth of the wicked, only what is perverse.
