'Tongues' in the Bible

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaks great things [in boasting];

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;Our lips are our own; who is lord and master over us?”

In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots and conspiracies of man;You keep them secretly in a shelter (pavilion) from the strife of tongues.

Confuse [my enemies], O Lord, divide their tongues [destroying their schemes],For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

My life is among lions;I must lie among those who breathe out fire—The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,And their tongue a sharp sword.

Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword.They aim venomous words as arrows,

So they will be caused to stumble;Their own tongue is against them;All who gaze at them will shake the head [in scorn].

That your foot may crush them in blood,That the tongue of your dogs may have its share from your enemies.”

They set their mouth against the heavens,And their tongue swaggers through the earth.

Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouthsAnd lied to Him with their tongues.

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

Rescue my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,And from a deceitful tongue.

Then our mouth was filled with laughterAnd our tongue with joyful shouting;Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”

They sharpen their tongues like a serpent’s;Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.
