3 Set H7896 a watch, H8108 O LORD, H3068 before my mouth; H6310 keep H5341 the door H1817 of my lips. H8193
Trust H539 ye not in a friend, H7453 put ye not confidence H982 in a guide: H441 keep H8104 the doors H6607 of thy mouth H6310 from her that lieth H7901 in thy bosom. H2436
If any man G1536 among G1722 you G5213 seem G1380 to be G1511 religious, G2357 and bridleth G5468 not G3361 his G846 tongue, G1100 but G235 deceiveth G538 his own G846 heart, G2588 this man's G5127 religion G2356 is vain. G3152
Thou hast proved H974 mine heart; H3820 thou hast visited H6485 me in the night; H3915 thou hast tried H6884 me, and shalt find H4672 nothing; I am purposed H2161 that my mouth H6310 shall not transgress. H5674 Concerning the works H6468 of men, H120 by the word H1697 of thy lips H8193 I have kept H8104 me from the paths H734 of the destroyer. H6530 Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths, H4570 that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not.
