My tongue will sing of your promise, for all your commandments are right.
Truly I direct my steps by all your precepts; I hate every false way.
With my lips I declare all the ordinances of your mouth.
You have appointed your decrees in righteousness and in all faithfulness.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth.
I will also speak of your decrees before kings and shall not be put to shame;
All your commandments are enduring; I am persecuted without cause; help me!
The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak justice.
We will not hide them from their children; we will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and his might and the wonders that he has done.
So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin.
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths but only what is good for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.
Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
