For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 59 of Psalms. Psalm 59 describes a persecution in which enemies watch the psalmist’s house and wait for his downfall. The prayer asks God not only to protect him, but to make his rule visible among the nations. Images of dogs roaming the city emphasize the constant threat. Against them, the psalmist repeatedly declares that God is his strength and refuge, transforming danger into a permanent reason for song.

Erwürge sie nicht, daß es mein Volk nicht vergesse; zerstreue sie aber mit deiner Macht, HERR, unser Schild, und stoße sie hinunter!
Por el pecado de su boca, por la palabra de sus labios; Y sean presos por su soberbia, Y por la maldición y mentira que profieren.
Por el pecado de su boca y las palabras de sus labios, que queden atrapados en su orgullo, por las maldiciones y mentiras que cuentan.
Leur bouche pèche à chaque parole de leurs lèvres: Qu'ils soient pris dans leur propre orgueil! Ils ne profèrent que malédictions et mensonges.
Per lo peccato della lor bocca, per le parole delle lor labbra; E sieno colti per l’orgoglio loro, E perciocchè tengono ragionamenti di esecrazioni e di menzogne.
Pelo pecado da sua boca e pelas palavras dos seus lábios, fiquem presos na sua soberba, e pelas maldições e pelas mentiras que falam.
願他們因口中的罪和嘴唇的言語, 被自己的驕傲抓住, 他們所說的盡是咒罵和謊話。
