I have preached righteousness in the great assembly; lo, I have not restrained My lips, O Jehovah, You know.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not hidden Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

We will not hide them from their children, recounting to the following generation the praises of Jehovah, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, and hidden that will not be known.

Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

For nothing is concealed that will not be made manifest, nor anything hidden that will not be perceived and come into plain view.

For there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, nor hidden that will not be known.

Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

For we are not able not to speak the things which we have seen and heard.

For I have not shrunk back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will be from God.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life;

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
