詩編 34:13

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.34.1" class="versetxt"> 1 わたしは常に主をほめまつる。そのさんびはわたしの口に絶えない。2 わが魂は主によって誇る。苦しむ者はこれを聞いて喜ぶであろう。3 わたしと共に主をあがめよ、われらは共にみ名をほめたたえよう。4 わたしが主に求めたとき、主はわたしに答え、すべての恐れからわたしを助け出された。5 主を仰ぎ見て、光を得よ、そうすれば、あなたがたは、恥じて顔を赤くすることはない。6 この苦しむ者が呼ばわったとき、主は聞いて、すべての悩みから救い出された。7 主の使は主を恐れる者のまわりに陣をしいて彼らを助けられる。8 主の恵みふかきことを味わい知れ、主に寄り頼む人はさいわいである。9 主の聖徒よ、主を恐れよ、主を恐れる者には乏しいことがないからである。10 若きししは乏しくなって飢えることがある。しかし主を求める者は良き物に欠けることはない。11 子らよ、来てわたしに聞け、わたしは主を恐るべきことをあなたがたに教えよう。12 さいわいを見ようとして、いのちを慕い、ながらえることを好む人はだれか。13 あなたの舌をおさえて悪を言わせず、あなたのくちびるをおさえて偽りを言わすな。14 悪を離れて善をおこない、やわらぎを求めて、これを努めよ。15 主の目は正しい人をかえりみ、その耳は彼らの叫びに傾く。16 主のみ顔は悪を行う者にむかい、その記憶を地から断ち滅ぼされる。17 正しい者が助けを叫び求めるとき、主は聞いて、彼らをそのすべての悩みから助け出される。18 主は心の砕けた者に近く、たましいの悔いくずおれた者を救われる。19 正しい者には災が多い。しかし、主はすべてその中から彼を助け出される。20 主は彼の骨をことごとく守られる。その一つだに折られることはない。21 悪は悪しき者を殺す。正しい者を憎む者は罪に定められる。22 主はそのしもべらの命をあがなわれる。主に寄り頼む者はひとりだに罪に定められることはない。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Keep thy tongue from evil,.... This, and what follows in this verse and Psalms 34:14, point at the things wherein the fear of God shows itself; and suggest, that those who have it, and which is known by these fruits, shall enjoy the desirable and good days before mentioned. The tongue is an instrument of much evil, an unruly member, and needs restraint; and it is from evil, and not from good, it is to be kept; from evil speaking of God, from cursing and swearing; from evil speaking of men, reproaching and reviling them; from filthy speaking, from all obscene and unchaste words, and from all lying ones; for where such evil speaking is indulged, the fear of God cannot be in that man;

and thy lips from speaking guile; hypocritical and deceitful words, speaking with flattering lips and a double heart: some speak bad words in common conversation, through an evil habit and custom; and some speak good words with an ill design; and in neither of them is the fear of God before their eyes, nor in their hearts.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Keep thy tongue from evil - From speaking wrong things. Always give utterance to truth, and truth alone. The meaning is, that this is one of the methods of lengthening out life. To love the truth; to speak the truth; to avoid all falsehood, slander, and deceit, will contribute to this, or will be a means which will tend to prolong life, and to make it happy.

And thy lips from speaking guile - Deceit. Do not “deceive” others by your words. Do not make any statements which are not true, or any promises which you cannot and will not keep. Do not flatter others; and do not give utterance to slander. Be a man characterized by the love of truth: and let all your words convey truth, and truth only. It cannot be doubted that this, like all other virtues, would tend to lengthen life, and to make it prosperous and peaceful. There is no vice which does not tend to abridge human life, as there is no virtue which does not tend to lengthen it. But probably the specific idea here is, that the way to avoid the hostility of other people, and to secure their favor and friendship, is to deal with them truly, and thus to live in peace with them. It is true, also, that God will bless a life of virtue and uprightness, and though there is no absolute certainty that anyone, however virtuous he may be, may not be cut off in early life, yet it is also true that, other things being equal, a man of truth and integrity will be more likely to live long - (as he will be more certain to make the most of life) - than one who is false and corrupt.
