For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

The Hurtful Tongue

James 3:1–12

1Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.+ 2Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,+ 3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,+ 4ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.+ 5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.+ 6They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.+ 7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.+ 8They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.+ 9Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.+ 10Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.+
