Make known His deeds among the peoples! - So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. - A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart. - Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips

Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. - A fool’s lips enter into contention,

And put perverse lips far from you. - It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel. - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;

Through my groaning all the day long. - If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

And whoever spreads slander is a fool. - Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
