²³ For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

¹⁰² My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher.

³⁰ I have taken the way of faith: I have kept your decisions before me.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

⁶ They were upright in the eyes of God, keeping all the rules and orders of God, and doing no wrong.

¹²⁸ Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.

⁸⁶ All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.

¹³ With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.

⁶ Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.

⁸ The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.

⁹ The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.

¹¹ Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:

¹² And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.

⁶ Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;

⁷ Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.

⁸ Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow;

⁹ Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.

¹ Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:

² So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.
