My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin.
You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.
You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness.
All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth.
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.
I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame,
We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
