'Tongue' in the Bible

His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts!

The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to my gums. You set me in the dust of death.

For the music director; according to the tune of "Lilies;" by the Korahites, a well-written poem, a love song. My heart is stirred by a beautiful song. I say, "I have composed this special song for the king; my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe."

You do damage with words, and use your tongue to deceive.

Rescue me from the guilt of murder, O God, the God who delivers me! Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance.

You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives.

All day long my tongue will also tell about your justice, for those who want to harm me will be embarrassed and ashamed.

May my tongue sing about your instructions, for all your commands are just.

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.

Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O Lord, being thoroughly aware of it.
