Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; Adders' poison is under their lips.
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent's; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! [Rom. 3:13.]
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips.
They sharpen their tongues like a snake’s; spider poison is on their lips.
O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
