"You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue. "
— Psalms 51:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.”
“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. ”
“Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.”
“Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom.”
“Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.”
“Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.”
“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.”
Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?
All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.
The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:
“Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”
