Psalms 34:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

From evil; from all manner of evil-speaking, from all opprobrious, injurious, false, and deceitful speeches; which, though men commonly use to ease and gratify their own minds, or to compass their designs, do frequently fall upon their own heads, by provoking both God and men against them. Guile; or guileful words, contrary to thy intentions, and with a purpose of deceiving men by them.

Psalms 34:13

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
