Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things - literally, 'princely things' ( nªgiydiym (H5057)). Words that are as princes above all other topics of discourse. [The Greek translators have it as: heegemonika ; the Septuagint has: semna (G4586), august things.]
And the opening of my lips (shall be) right things - literally, rightnesses. Nothing perverse, futile, or of human self-devising (Proverbs 22:20; 2 Timothy 3:16; cf. Matthew 5:2, Jesus "opened His mouth, and taught them:" implying the gravity and majesty of One who never opened His mouth except to utter words altogether right, true, and excellent). The minister of Jesus should similarly well weigh His words when he is about to speak to the people.
