Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

My heart is overflowing with a goodly theme; I recite my special song to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a skillful scribe.

The perverse in heart are an abomination to the Lord, but the blameless in their ways are His delight.

A man has joy in the apt reply of his mouth, and a timely word spoken, how good it is!

The Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but He will maintain the boundary of the widow.

He who is greedy of unjust gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

The devising of folly is sin, and the mocker is an abomination to men.

O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immorality, thefts, false witness, and blasphemies.
