if ¹  you have been ensnared ²  by the words you have uttered, ³  and have been caught by the words you have spoken,

He will yet ¹  fill your mouth with laughter, ²  and your lips with gladness.

You do damage with words, ¹  and use your tongue to deceive. ² 

With my lips I proclaim all the regulations you have revealed. ¹ 

Revive me with ¹  your loyal love, that I might keep ²  the rules you have revealed. ³ 

“How long will you speak these things, ¹  seeing ²  that the words of your mouth are like a great ³  wind? ⁴ 

Your sin inspires ¹  your mouth; you choose the language ²  of the crafty. ³ 

Your own mouth condemns ¹  you, not I; your own lips testify against ²  you.

Is it at your command ¹  that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high?

The law you have revealed is more important to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. ¹ 

Let another ¹  praise you, and not your own mouth; ²  someone else, ³  and not your own lips.

Open your mouth ¹  on behalf of those unable to speak, ²  for the legal rights of all the dying. ³ 

Open your mouth, judge in righteousness, ¹  and plead the cause ²  of the poor and needy.

So now go, and I will be with your mouth ¹  and will teach you ²  what you must say.” ³ 

God says this to the evildoer: ¹  “How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant? ² 

I am the Lord, your God, the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!’

Let all the kings of the earth give thanks ¹  to you, O Lord, when they hear the words you speak. ² 

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust a companion! Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms! ¹ 

You will oversee my household, and all my people will submit to your commands. ¹  Only I, the king, will be greater than you. ² 

“So you are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And as for me, I will be with your mouth ¹  and with his mouth, ²  and I will teach you both ³  what you must do. ⁴
