With my lips I have recounted All the right-rulings of Your mouth.
The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of right-ruling.
Come, you children, listen to me; Let me teach you the fear of יהוה.
“For it is impossible for us not to speak of what we saw and heard.”
“Brood of adders! How are you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
My tongue sings of Your word, For all Your commands are righteousness.
That I might speak of Your witnesses before sovereigns, And not be ashamed;
Let me not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah.
“What I say to you in the dark, speak in the light. And what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
“And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart,
and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak 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,
For all His right-rulings are before me, And I did not turn from His laws.
So as to watch over discretion, And your lips guard knowledge.
