Psalm 12:2-4
New International Reader's Version

2 Everyone tells lies to their neighbors.
    With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it.

3 May the Lord close all lips that don’t mean what they say.
    May he stop every tongue that brags.
4 They say, “What we speak with our tongues will win the battle.
    What we say with our lips will keep us safe. No one will have victory over us.”

    “By our tongues we will prevail;(E)
    our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
