Psalm 118:172 Douay-Rheims

My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

But as he has now learned, and praised God his Teacher, he next wishes to teach. "Yea, my tongue shall declare Your word: for all Your commandments are righteousness" [Psalm 119:172]. When he says that he will declare these things, he becomes a minister of the word. For though God teach within, nevertheless "faith comes from hearing: and how do they hear without a preacher?" For, because "God gives the increase," [1 Corinthians 3:7] is no reason why we need not plant and water.
