The declaration that the psalmist's mouth speaks wisdom and that his heart will meditate on understanding establishes the basis of his authority to teach. The reference to wisdom of the mouth and the meditation of the heart suggests that the teachings flow from extended contemplation and interior reflection rather than superficial observation. The specific mention of meditation emphasizes the thoughtful and serious character of the wisdom; it has been hard-won through reflection. The claim to speak wisdom and contemplate understanding suggests that the psalmist has achieved spiritual maturity and insight worthy of transmission to others. This verse establishes the psalmist's credibility as a teacher.
