to deliver ¹  you from the way of the wicked, ²  from those ³  speaking perversity, ⁴

Remove perverse speech ¹  from your mouth; ²  keep devious talk far from your lips. ³ 

The integrity of the upright guides them, ¹  but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroys them. ² 

The one who winks his eyes ¹  devises perverse things, and ²  one who compresses his lips ³  brings about ⁴  evil.
