3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
Don't trust in a neighbor. Don't put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, Be careful of the words of your mouth!
If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey. As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent. My steps have held fast to your paths, My feet have not slipped.
Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

PSALM 141
Ps 141:1-10. This Psalm evinces its authorship as the preceding, by its structure and the character of its contents. It is a prayer for deliverance from sins to which affliction tempted him, and from the enemies who caused it.
