Verse 8 is found in chapter 140 of Psalms. Psalm 140 asks for protection from violent people who plan to make the psalmist stumble. The language of the tongue as a weapon and hidden traps emphasizes that violence can begin with words and conspiracies. The petitioner trusts that God will defend the cause of the afflicted and needy. The conclusion affirms that the righteous will give thanks and remain in the divine presence.
