Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

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.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
