My mouth will speak wise words. What I think about in my heart will give you understanding.

“ The king was at his table. My perfume gave off a sweet smell.

I will sing a song for the Lord. He is the one I love. It’s a song about his vineyard Israel. The one I love had a vineyard. It was on a hillside that had rich soil.

This is the greatest song Solomon ever wrote.“ I long for your lips to kiss me! Your love makes me happier than wine does.The lotion you have on pleases me. Your name is like perfume that is poured out. No wonder the young women love you!Take me away with you. Let us hurry! King Solomon, bring me into your palace.”“ King Solomon, you fill us with joy. You make us happy. We praise your love more than we praise wine.”“ It is right for them to love you!“ Women of Jerusalem, my skin is dark but lovely. It is dark like the tents in Kedar. It’s like the curtains of Solomon’s tent.Don’t stare at me because I’m dark. The sun has made my skin look like this. My brothers were angry with me. They made me take care of the vineyards. I haven’t even taken care of my own vineyard.“ King Solomon, I love you. So tell me where you take care of your flock. Tell me where you rest your sheep at noon. Why should I have to act like a prostitute near the flocks of your friends?”

I’m full of words. My spirit inside me forces me to speak.Inside I’m like wine that is bottled up. I’m like new wineskins ready to burst.I must speak so I can feel better. I must open my mouth and reply.

Open wide, you gates. Open up, you ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in.Who is the King of glory? The Lord, who is strong and mighty. The Lord, who is mighty in battle.Open wide, you gates. Open wide, you ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in.Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord who rules over all. He is the King of glory.

So let’s choose for ourselves what is right. Let’s learn together what is good.

Prophecy never came simply because a prophet wanted it to. Instead, the Holy Spirit guided the prophets as they spoke. So, although prophets are human, prophecy comes from God.

He says to them,“ I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.”

God, save me. My troubles are like a flood. I’m up to my neck in them.

Listen! I have things to say that you can depend on. I open my lips to speak what is right.My mouth speaks what is true. My lips hate evil.All the words of my mouth are honest. None of them is twisted or sinful.To those who have understanding, all my words are right. To those who have found knowledge, they are true.

Above his head they placed the written charge against him. It read, this is jesus, the king of the jews.

A king will come who will do what is right. His officials will govern fairly.Each official will be like a place to get out of the wind. He will be like a place to hide from storms. He’ll be like streams of water flowing in the desert. He’ll be like the shadow of a huge rock in a dry and thirsty land.

A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up inside him. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up inside him.
