⁴ The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught,
    that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary.
He awakens morning by morning,
    he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
⁵ The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear.
    I was not rebellious.
    I have not turned back.

¹¹ A word fitly spoken
    is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
