So that I do not sin with my tongue;

I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle

While the wicked are in my presence.”

That I may not sin with my tongue;

I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle

While the wicked are in my presence.”

That I may not sin with my tongue;

I will muzzle my mouth

While the wicked are in my presence.”

I will keep my mouth closed

when I am near sinful people.”
