For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

The Hurtful Tongue

James 3:1–12

1Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.+ 2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;+ 3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,+ 4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.+ 5They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”+ 6They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.+ 7But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.+ 8Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.+ 9All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.+ 10The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!+
