The Thoughts and Words of the Wicked and the Pure

This section teaches that both our thoughts and our words matter to God. He knows what is in our hearts and judges our words by the thoughts that produce them. God is pleased with those who are pure in heart and speech, but He is displeased with wicked people and their evil plans.

v. 26: The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord. God sees the plans and intentions of those who do wrong. Even their secret thoughts, which often aim to hurt or deceive, are offensive to Him. God knows everything in our hearts and wants to be first in our thoughts. On the other hand, the words of the pure are pleasant words(Proverbs 15:26 ^a). When people are honest and sincere, their prayers, praises, and conversations are pleasing to God. The Bible says, Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord(Psalm 19:14 ^b). Both our words to God and our words to others should come from a pure heart, because God delights in purity.
