The Voice of Righteousness Lyrics

I was the first of his works
Appointed from eternity
Before the world began
I was there when he set
The heavens in place
When he marked out the horizon

Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
Listen, I have worthy things to say!
I open my mouth to speak, what's right

I, wisdom, dwell with prudence
I possess knowledge and discretion
Counsel and judgement is mine
I have understanding and power

Wisdom is to love the Lord
To fear God, and to hate evil!

Listen to my words and be wise
Do not ignore it!
Whoever finds me finds life
But all who hate me, they love death!
