'Speak' in the Bible

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].

You destroy those who tell lies;The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

They speak deceitful and worthless words to one another;With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaks great things [in boasting];

They have closed their unfeeling heart [to kindness and compassion];With their mouths they speak proudly and make presumptuous claims.

Do not drag me away with the wickedAnd with those who do evil,Who speak peace with their neighbors,While malice and mischief are in their hearts.

Let the lying lips be mute,Which speak insolently and arrogantly against the [consistently] righteousWith pride and contempt.

For they do not speak peace,But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me,And those who seek to injure me threaten mischievous things and destruction;They devise treachery all the day long.

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done,And Your thoughts toward us;There is none to compare with You.If I would declare and speak of your wonders,They would be too many to count.

My enemies speak evil of me, saying,“When will he die and his name perish?”

My mouth will speak wisdom,And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak;O Israel, I will testify against you:I am God, your God.

“You sit and speak against your brother;You slander your own mother’s son.

You love evil more than good,And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.

Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods (heavenly beings)?Do you judge fairly, O sons of men?

But the king will rejoice in God;Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

They mock and wickedly speak of oppression;They speak loftily [with malice].

They set their mouth against the heavens,And their tongue swaggers through the earth.

‘Do not lift up your [defiant and aggressive] horn on high,Do not speak with a stiff neck.’”

You have held my eyelids open;I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the Lord will say,For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones—But let them not turn again to folly.

Let this be the reward of my attackers from the Lord,And of those who speak evil against my life.

They have mouths, but they cannot speak;They have eyes, but they cannot see;

I will also speak of Your testimonies before kingsAnd shall not be ashamed.

I am for peace, but when I speak,They are for war.

How blessed [happy and fortunate] is the man whose quiver is filled with them;They will not be ashamedWhen they speak with their enemies [in gatherings] at the [city] gate.

They have mouths, but they do not speak;They have eyes, but they do not see;

For they speak against You wickedly,Your enemies take Your name in vain.

Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint],And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners,Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint],And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

People will speak of the power of Your awesome acts,And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will tell of Your greatness.

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdomAnd talk of Your power,

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,And all flesh will bless and gratefully praise His holy name forever and ever.
