“Station a guard for my mouth, O Jehovah, Do set a watch over the door of my lips. Do not let my heart incline to anything bad, To share in vile deeds with evil men; May I never feast on their delicacies.Should the righteous one strike me, it would be an act of loyal love; Should he reprove me, it would be like oil on my head, Which my head would never refuse.”
“Maglagay ka ng bantay, O Jehova, para sa aking bibig; Bantayan mo ang pinto ng aking mga labi. Huwag mong ikiling ang aking puso sa anumang bagay na masama, Upang magsagawa ng kahiya-hiyang mga gawa sa kabalakyutan Kasama ng mga taong nagsasagawa ng bagay na nakasasakit, Upang hindi ko kainin ang kanilang masasarap na pagkain.
