Psalms 119:172

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.

But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

Tell your children about it, and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt. You shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”

All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

You are near, Yahweh. All your commandments are truth.

All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,

Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.

You shall bring them near to Yahweh, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

But we know that the law is good, if a person uses it lawfully,

In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

and 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 up.

We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.

I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be disappointed.

All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
