Woooooah! Woah yeah nah. 
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!
Ooooh, ooooh, woah yeah yeah nah nah, oh yeah. Ooooh, woahohoh yeah. 
In laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward. 
Better is 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! Woah yeah now now.... Woah... yeah!! Oooohhh ooh yeah.... oh yeah now:
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!
Woah yeah now... mmmmm.. Oh yeah, said you will surely fail! Oh yeah now... mmmm.. Oh yeah now.. 
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!
Ooooh mmmmm. Oh yeah now mmmmm. Oooooooh mmmmmmmm. Woah yeah now now, 
Live up, live up, now now, live up! Never give up righteousness! Oh yeah now, keep it up, son, follow the footsteps of your father! Oh yeah nah now. Words of wisdom, words of wisdom, words of wisdom I hold to. I said I hold to. Oooo
