What I say is wise, and my heart speaks with understanding.
My words come from an honest heart, and I am sincere in saying what I know.
But if you have nothing to say, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
May my thoughts please him; I am happy in the Lord.
Learning your words gives wisdom and understanding for the foolish.
I hope my words and thoughts please you. Lord, you are my Rock, the one who saves me.
Good people speak with wisdom, and they say what is fair.
You know that the Lord has chosen for himself those who are loyal to him. The Lord listens when I pray to him.
Beautiful words fill my mind. I am speaking of royal things. My tongue is like the pen of a skilled writer.
Listen carefully to what wise people say; pay attention to what I am teaching you.
Good people have good things in their hearts, and so they say good things. But evil people have evil in their hearts, so they say evil things.
My teaching will drop like rain; my words will fall like dew. They will be like showers on the grass; they will pour down like rain on young plants.
