With my lips
This phrase emphasizes the personal and vocal nature of the psalmist's declaration. The Hebrew word for "lips" is "שָׂפָה" (saphah), which often symbolizes communication and expression. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the act of speaking was not merely a physical action but a powerful means of conveying truth and intention. The psalmist's use of "lips" signifies a commitment to verbalize God's truths, suggesting that faith is not only internal but also expressed outwardly. This aligns with the biblical principle that what fills the heart overflows through speech (Luke 6:45).

I proclaim
The Hebrew root for "proclaim" is "סָפַר" (saphar), which means to recount, declare, or enumerate. This verb conveys a sense of intentionality and thoroughness. The psalmist is not merely speaking casually but is making a deliberate effort to articulate and share God's decrees. Historically, the act of proclamation was central to Jewish worship and teaching, as oral tradition played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting the faith. This highlights the importance of actively sharing God's word with others, reinforcing the communal aspect of faith.

all the judgments
The term "judgments" comes from the Hebrew "מִשְׁפָּט" (mishpat), which refers to God's ordinances, laws, or decisions. In the biblical context, "judgments" are not merely legal decrees but divine principles that reflect God's character and will. The psalmist's commitment to proclaim "all" of them underscores a comprehensive understanding and acceptance of God's authority. This reflects a conservative Christian view that all of Scripture is inspired and authoritative, as seen in 2 Timothy 3:16.

of Your mouth
This phrase attributes the source of the judgments directly to God, emphasizing divine origin and authority. The Hebrew word for "mouth" is "פֶּה" (peh), which often symbolizes speech and command. By specifying "Your mouth," the psalmist acknowledges that these judgments are not human constructs but divine revelations. This aligns with the belief that Scripture is God-breathed, as articulated in conservative Christian theology. The phrase also evokes the image of God as a personal and communicative being, who desires to reveal His will to humanity. This personal aspect of God's communication invites believers to engage with Scripture as a living and active dialogue with the Creator.

(13) With my lips.--He has not kept his hidden treasure to himself, but, like the good householder of the Gospels, has brought out things new and old.

Verse 13. - With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." The "word" hid in the psalmist's heart (ver. 11) could not but rise to his lips on fit occasion, and be set forth before the people for their edification - more especially as there was an express command binding upon all Israelites to teach the Law to their children and dependants (see particularly Deuteronomy 6:7).
