39 I said, “I will ^(A)guard my ways
That I ^(B)may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard ^(C)my mouth as with a muzzle
While the wicked are in my presence.”

³ The one who ^(A)guards his mouth preserves his life;
The one who ^(B)opens wide his lips ^[a]comes to ruin.

²³ He who ^(A)guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul from troubles.
