Vs. 13 — With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth.

Comments from Thomas Manton:

For the coherence of these words, you may refer them either to the 11th or 12th verse. If to the 11th verse, there he speaks of hiding the word in his heart, and now it breaks out in his tongue. First it must be in the heart, and next in the tongue.  (Manton, T. (1872). The Complete Works of Thomas Manton (Vol. 6, pp. 118–119). London: James Nisbet & Co.)

Comments from Charles H. Spurgeon:

Lips which have been used in proclaiming God’s statutes are sure to be acceptable when pleading God’s promises. If we have had such regard to that which cometh out of God’s mouth that we have published it far and wide, we may rest quite assured that God will have respect unto the prayers which come out of our mouths. (Spurgeon, C. H. (2009). The treasury of David: Psalms 111-119 (Vol. 5, p. 160). Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software.)

Prayer:

O’ God, with my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth. And God, continue to fill my heart with Your righteous judgments so that my lips cannot resist from sharing and teaching them. Grant me courage and boldness that I be not ashamed of Your judgments, that is, Your truth and righteousness. Let the truth from heaven go out to the four corners of the earth that Jesus Christ may be gloried and praised.
