I will open my mouth in a parable
And sing the dark sayings of old
And much wisdom and knowledge stretch forth their hands
Unto you, o children, I cry
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah or men you will surely fail

In laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward
Better a dinner of herbs where love is
Than feasting where there is wrath
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah or men you will surely fail

(..)

So take heed Jah people and live upright
For this is the time that will tell
When the righteous ones, shall stand up strong
Oh, why did the heathen rage?
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovah or men you will surely fail
Said you will surely fail

So I will open my mouth in a parable
And sing the dark sayings of old
So much wisdom and knowledge stretch forth their hands
Unto you, O children, I cry
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell!
Take heed of the words of Jehovah or men you will surely fail

Live up, live up, now now, live up
Never give up righteousness!
Keep it up, son; follow the footsteps of your Father!
Words of wisdom, words of wisdom
Words of wisdom I hold to, I said I hold to
