Holy Scripture
Psalms 141:3
A church father on this verse
“Set, O Lord, a guard to my mouth. 'Death and life are in the hands of the tongue.' And again: 'Amen I say to you, that for every idle word which you have spoken, you shall render an account on the day of judgment.' This therefore the prophet asks, that everything he speaks may not be idle, but holy and worthy of God.…”

1A Psalm of instruction for David, when he was in the cave—a Prayer.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice; With my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
— Psalms 141:3 —
4When my spirit was fainting within me, Then thou knewest my paths; In the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
5I looked on my right hand, and behold, For there was none that noticed me; Refuge failed me; And there was none that cared for my soul.
