With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord. I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.”
You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame,
I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.
What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
