Then Moses ^H4872 said ^H559 to the LORD ^H3068, “Please ^H994, Lord ^H136, I have never ^H3808 been [fn]eloquent ^H376 H1697, neither ^H1571 [fn]recently ^H4480 H8543 nor ^H1571 in time ^H8032 past ^H8032, nor ^H1571 since ^H227 You have spoken ^H1696 to Your servant ^H5650; for I am [fn]slow ^H3515 of speech ^H6310 and [fn]slow ^H3515 of tongue ^H3956.”

“The LORD ^H3068 will bring ^H5375 a nation ^H1471 against ^H5921 you from far ^H7350 away ^H7350, from the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776, as the eagle ^H5404 swoops ^H1675 down ^H1675; a nation ^H1471 whose ^H834 language ^H3956 you will not understand ^H8085,

“The Spirit ^H7307 of the LORD ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 through me,

And His word ^H4405 was on my tongue ^H3956.

Then the king’s ^H4428 scribes ^H5608 were summoned ^H7121 on the thirteenth ^H7969 H6240 day ^H3117 of the first ^H7223 month ^H2320, and it was written ^H3789 just ^H3605 H834 as Haman ^H2001 commanded ^H6680 to the king’s ^H4428 satraps ^H323, to the governors ^H6346 who ^H834 were over ^H5921 each ^H4082 province ^H4082 and to the officials ^H8269 of each ^H5971 people ^H5971, each ^H4082 province ^H4082 according to its script ^H3791, each ^H5971 people ^H5971 according to its language ^H3956, being written ^H3789 in the name ^H8034 of King ^H4428 Ahasuerus ^H325 and sealed ^H2856 with the king’s ^H4428 signet ^H2885 ring ^H2885.

So the king’s ^H4428 scribes ^H5608 were summoned ^H7121 at that time ^H6256 in the third ^H7992 month ^H2320 (that is, the month ^H2320 Sivan ^H5510), on the twenty-third ^H6242 H7969 [fn]day; and it was written ^H3789 in accordance with everything ^H3605 that Mordecai ^H4782 commanded ^H6680 the Jews ^H3064, the satraps ^H323, the governors ^H6346, and the officials ^H8269 of the provinces ^H4082 which ^H834 extended from India ^H1912 to [fn]Cush ^H3568, 127 ^{H7651 H6242 H3967} provinces ^H4082, to every ^H4082 province ^H4082 according to its script ^H3791, and to every ^H5971 people ^H5971 according to their language ^H3956, as well as to the Jews ^H3064 according to their script ^H3791 and their language ^H3956.

“You will be hidden ^H2244 [fn]from the scourge ^H7752 of the tongue ^H3956,

And you will not be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 of violence ^H7701 when ^H3588 it comes ^H935.

“Is ^H3426 there ^H3426 injustice ^H5766 on my tongue ^H3956?

Does my palate ^H2441 not discern ^H995 disasters ^H1942?

“For your wrongdoing ^H5771 teaches ^H502 your mouth ^H6310,

And you choose ^H977 the language ^H3956 of the cunning ^H6175.

“Though ^H518 evil ^H7451 tastes ^H4985 sweet ^H4985 in his mouth ^H6310

And he hides ^H3582 it under ^H8478 his tongue ^H3956,

“He sucks ^H3243 the poison ^H7219 of cobras ^H6620;

The viper’s ^H660 tongue ^H3956 kills ^H2026 him.

My lips ^H8193 certainly ^H518 will not speak ^H1696 unjustly ^H5766,

Nor ^H518 will my tongue ^H3956 mutter ^H1897 deceit ^H7423.

The voices ^H6963 of the prominent ^H5057 people ^H5057 were [fn]hushed ^H2244,

And their tongues ^H3956 stuck ^H1692 to their palates ^H2441.

“Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, I open ^H6605 my mouth ^H6310,

My tongue ^H3956 in my [fn]mouth ^H2441 speaks ^H1696.

“[fn]Can you drag ^H4900 out ^H4900 [fn]Leviathan ^H3882 with a fishhook ^H2443,

And press ^H8257 down ^H8257 his tongue ^H3956 with a rope ^H2256?

For there ^H369 is ^H369 nothing ^H369 [fn]trustworthy ^H3559 in [fn]their mouth ^H6310;

Their inward ^H7130 part ^H7130 is destruction ^H1942 itself.

Their throat ^H1627 is an open ^H6605 grave ^H6913;

They [fn]flatter ^H2505 with their tongue ^H3956.

His mouth ^H6310 is full ^H4390 of cursing ^H423, deceit ^H4820, and oppression ^H8496;

Under ^H8478 his tongue ^H3956 is harm ^H5999 and injustice ^H205.

May the LORD ^H3068 cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 all ^H3605 [fn]flattering ^H2513 lips ^H8193,

The tongue ^H3956 that speaks ^H1696 great ^H1419 things ^H1419;

He does not slander ^H7270 [fn]with his tongue ^H3956,

Nor ^H3808 do ^H6213 evil ^H7451 to his neighbor ^H7453,

Nor ^H3808 bring ^H5375 shame ^H2781 on his friend ^H7453;

My strength ^H3581 is dried ^H3001 up ^H3001 like a piece ^H2789 of ^H2789 pottery ^H2789,

And my tongue ^H3956 clings ^H1692 to my jaws ^H4455;

And You lay ^H8239 me [fn]in the dust ^H6083 of death ^H4194.

You hide ^H5641 them in the secret ^H5643 place ^H5643 of Your presence ^H6440 from the conspiracies ^H7407 of mankind ^H376;

You keep ^H6845 them secretly ^H6845 in a [fn]shelter ^H5521 from the strife ^H7379 of tongues ^H3956.

Keep ^H5341 your tongue ^H3956 from evil ^H7451

And your lips ^H8193 from speaking ^H1696 deceit ^H4820.

And my tongue ^H3956 shall proclaim ^H1897 Your righteousness ^H6664

And Your praise ^H8416 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

The mouth ^H6310 of the righteous ^H6662 utters ^H1897 wisdom ^H2451,

And his tongue ^H3956 speaks ^H1696 justice ^H4941.

For the music director, for [fn]Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

I said ^H559, “I will keep ^H8104 watch ^H8104 over ^H8104 my ways ^H1870

So that I do not sin ^H2398 with my tongue ^H3956;

I will keep ^H8104 watch ^H8104 over ^H8104 my mouth ^H6310 as with a muzzle ^H4269

While ^H5750 the wicked ^H7563 are in my presence ^H5048.”

My heart ^H3820 was ^H2552 hot ^H2552 within ^H7130 me,

While I was musing ^H1901 the fire ^H784 burned ^H1197;

Then I spoke ^H1696 with my tongue ^H3956:

For the music director; according to the [fn]Shoshannim. A [fn]Maskil of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.

My heart ^H3820 is moved ^H7370 with a good ^H2896 theme ^H1697;

I [fn]address ^H559 my [fn]verses ^H4639 to the [fn]King ^H4428;

My tongue ^H3956 is the pen ^H5842 of a ready ^H4106 writer ^H5608.

“You [fn]let ^H7971 your mouth ^H6310 loose ^H7971 in evil ^H7451,

And your tongue ^H3956 harnesses ^H6775 deceit ^H4820.

Save ^H5337 me from the guilt ^H1818 of ^H1818 bloodshed ^H1818, God ^H430, the God ^H430 of my salvation ^H8668;

Then my tongue ^H3956 will joyfully ^H7442 sing ^H7442 of Your righteousness ^H6666.

Your tongue ^H3956 devises ^H2803 destruction ^H1942,

Like a sharp ^H3913 razor ^H8593, you worker ^H6213 of deceit ^H7423.

You love ^H157 all ^H3605 words ^H1697 that devour ^H1105,

You deceitful ^H4820 tongue ^H3956.

Confuse ^H1104 them, Lord ^H136, divide ^H6385 their tongues ^H3956,

For I have seen ^H7200 violence ^H2555 and strife ^H7379 in the city ^H5892.

My soul ^H5315 is among ^H8432 lions ^H3833;

I must lie ^H7901 among those who devour ^H3857,

Among sons ^H1121 of mankind ^H120 whose teeth ^H8127 are spears ^H2595 and arrows ^H2671,

And their tongue ^H3956 is a sharp ^H2299 sword ^H2719.

Who ^H834 have sharpened ^H8150 their tongues ^H3956 like a sword ^H2719.

They aimed ^H1869 bitter ^H4751 speech ^H1697 as their arrows ^H2671,

So [fn]they [fn]will make him stumble ^H3782;

Their own tongue ^H3956 is against ^H5921 them;

All ^H3605 who see ^H7200 them will shake ^H5110 their heads ^H5110.

I cried ^H7121 to Him with my mouth ^H6310,

And [fn]He was exalted ^H7311 with my tongue ^H3956.

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 [fn]your foot ^H7272 may shatter ^H4272 them in blood ^H1818,

And the tongue ^H3956 of your dogs ^H3611 may have its portion ^H4521 from your enemies ^H340.”
