The meaning of Bridle in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Three Hebrew words are thus rendered in the Authorized Version. Heb. mahsom' signifies a muzzle or halter or bridle, by which the rider governs his horse (Ps.39:1). Me'theg , rendered also "bit" in Psalms 32:9, which is its proper meaning. Found in II Kings 19:28, where the restraints of God's providence are metaphorically styled his "bridle" and "hook." God's placing a "bridle in the jaws of the people" (Isaiah 30:28; 37:29) signifies his preventing the Assyrians from carrying out their purpose against Jerusalem. Another word, re'sen , was employed to represent a halter or bridle-rein, as used Psalms 32:9; Isaiah 30:28. In Job 30:11 the restraints of law and humanity are called a bridle.
