My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.
[To the Chief Musician upon shoshannim, for the Sons of Korah, a maschil, a song of loves.] My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready scribe.
The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice.
The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple.
If not, hearken unto me: hold your peace, and I shall teach you wisdom.
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
My teaching shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
