When the wicked parish, as in the Mafia is killing each other, the city shouts because of the confusion, danger, and lawlessness.
When it goes well with the righteous, there is peace and prosperity so there can be times of rejoicing. When the upright bless the city, it is exalted. The upright with his mouth is making a proclamation of good.
But the works of the wicked can overthrow the city.
In other words, words are very powerful.
