The lips of the righteous feed and guide many.
The mouth of the righteous brings forth
skillful and godly wisdom.
Proverbs 10:21, 31
Purify my tongue, O Lord,
keep a watch on what I say.
I'll not be a hypocrite,
speaking forth self-righteously.
May I always speak out life,
never speak destructively.
May I think and kindly speak,
not bursting forth impulsively.
May gossip never be a part
of my heart and mind.
May I take heed and guard my tongue,
sinning not in what I say,
taking Your silent example,
trusting in Your perfect way.
May my conversation be
a sign of your pure life in me.
May I be so filled with You,
self control comes naturally.
And may praise and joyful singing
come forth from me constantly!
