Let the words of my mouth,
And the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight,
O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth;
Keep the door of my lips.

A froward man soweth strife:
And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue
Keepeth his soul from troubles.
