Psalms 119:172
My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.
BSB
ASV
Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness.
KJV
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
My tongue shall speak of thy word--literally, "answer Thy Word," that is, with praise, respond to Thy word. Every expression in which we praise God and His Word is a response, or acknowledgment, corresponding to the perfections of Him whom we praise.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
