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

Psalms 37:30, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Psalm 37 is David's wisdom poem urging the faithful not to envy the prosperity of the wicked but to trust God's timing. In verse 30 the focus shifts from circumstances to speech: the righteous person's mouth "utters wisdom" and his tongue "speaks justice." The Hebrew word for wisdom, chokmah, here means practical insight for living rightly, not mere cleverness.
