Sharp venom pours out--
From those lips that should guard knowledge.
Witness of false discord--
Give me a mouth that utters truth.
In my many words, transgression--
I need restraining prudence.
Sly slander; Revealing secrets--
I crave the understanding silence.
Take that gold ring, from the pig's snout--
Gift me the gained discretion.
Wide open lips that come to ruin--
Preserve me with Your guarding.
Harsh words and anger kindled--
Make me a gentle tree of life.
Soul-snaring morsels decay the inner--
No--let me be the silent fool thought wise.
Quarrelsome whispers give coal to embers--
I want soothing words of grace.
Flattering lies, an open grave--
Better--faithfulness sharpened by iron.
"Did God really say?" That lie lives but a moment--
And Your Truth? Endures forever.
Rash words are like sword thrusts--
Give me the wisdom healing tongue.
Why does this fresh spring spew forth salty?
A fig tree bearing olives--
Both blessing and cursing...
From this same mouth.
Overflowing from a heart's abundance--
Who can tame this restless evil?
Put a burning coal to these unclean lips.
And store up Your Word within me.
Sweet and faithful are Your words--
Let my mouth song please Your sight.
Put off.
Put on--
Those psalms of thankful wisdom.
Put off.
Put on--
The melody that gives grace.
My weakness; Your power perfected--
I plead--bear fruit through my repentance.
For I know that...
Death and Life--
Are in the power of the tongue.
