For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

The Hurtful Tongue

James 3:1–12

1To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, OGod, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:+ 2Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,+ 3Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;+ 4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.+ 5They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?+ 6They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.+ 7ButGod will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;+ 8By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.+ 9And all men shall fear, and shall declareGod's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.+ 10The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.+
