i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah.] i0 par The transgression of the wicked declares within my heart: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; he has left off acting wisely and doing good.

Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from the belly, speaking lies.

Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

Surely the sons of men are a vapor; men are a lie; if they were to climb up into the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapor.

Praise YAH! I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart, in the council of the upright and in the congregation.

His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness stands eternally.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. But they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Jehovah.

And everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

For her rich ones are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

being filled with every unrighteousness, sexual perversion, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, depravity; whisperers,

without understanding, untrustworthy, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part You shall make me to know wisdom.

Indeed, in heart you work injustice; you weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

They devise injustice; they have finished searching out a plot. Yea, the inward part of man and the heart are unfathomable.

O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil so that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of robbery and wickedness.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.

Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

Jehovah shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things,

I will not show partiality to anyone, nor will I flatter any man.

For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor in pretense of covetousness; God is witness.
