My lips will tell about all the laws you have spoken.
Good people speak with wisdom, and they say what is fair.
Children, come and listen to me. I will teach you to worship the Lord.
We cannot keep quiet. We must speak about what we have seen and heard.”
You snakes! You are evil people, so how can you say anything good? The mouth speaks the things that are in the heart.
Let me sing about your promises, because all your commands are fair.
I will discuss your rules with kings and will not be ashamed.
I will not die, but live, and I will tell what the Lord has done.
I tell you these things in the dark, but I want you to tell them in the light. What you hear whispered in your ear you should shout from the housetops.
Always remember these commands I give you today.
Teach them to your children, and talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
I remember all his laws and have not broken his rules.
Be careful to use good sense, and watch what you say.
