Psalm 37:30

A Conservative Version

The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

See the chapter Copy

your speech always with grace seasoned with salt, to know how it is fitting for you to answer each one.

Let no corrupt speech go out of your mouth, rather if there is any good word for edification of a need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.

The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil things.

The lips of a righteous man feeds many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

The mouth of a righteous man brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, of thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers.

Oil and perfume rejoice the heart, so [too] the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long. For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek my hurt.

The tongue of a righteous man is choice silver. The heart of the wicked is little worth.
