With my lips have I declared all the ordinances of Your mouth.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
My tongue will speak of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteousness.
I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings and shall not be ashamed.
For all His decrees were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me.
Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
that you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light. And what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.
O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
For we cannot help but declare what we have seen and heard.”
These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be in your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
