Psalms 37:30

The godly speak wise words and promote justice. ¹ 

The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.

The godly offer good counsel; they know what is right from wrong.

Righteous chews on wisdom like a dog on a bone, rolls virtue around on his tongue.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak justice.

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.

The godly speak wise words and promote justice. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “The mouth of the godly [one] utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.” The singular form is used in a representative sense; the typical godly individual is in view. The imperfect verbal forms draw attention to the characteristic behavior of the godly.
