⁵⁶ This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts.

¹⁸ They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰ Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

²¹ For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

²² For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.

¹⁶⁵ Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling.

¹⁹ Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:

²⁰ because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;

²² and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.

²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
