With my lips I rehearse all the rulings of Your mouth.
I will not die, but live, and proclaim what Adonai has done!
My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your mitzvot are righteous.
I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and never be ashamed.
For I kept the ways of Adonai, and did not turn wickedly from my God.
Young lions may lack, and go hungry, but those who seek Adonai want for no good thing.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom and his tongue speaks justice.
that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in your ear, proclaim from the housetops!
You brood of vipers! How can you who are evil say anything good? For from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
These words, which I am commanding you today, are to be on your heart.
You are to teach them diligently to your children, and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.
