6Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7My mouth speaks what is true,z
for my lips detest wickedness.
8All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
