Psalm 141:3
New International Version (NIV)
3 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
James wrote (in James 3:5) that "the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts." On the average, a person opens his of her mouth approximately 700 times a day to speak. David wisely asked God to help keep him from speaking evil - sometimes even when he underwent persecution. Knowing the power of the tongue, we would do well to ask God to guard what we say so that our words will bring honor to His name.
