¹⁶ I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.

¹⁶ This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

¹⁷ And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

⁹² If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.

⁹³ I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life.

⁷⁷ Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.

⁷⁰ Their hearts are shut up with fat; but my delight is in your law.

⁴⁷ And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.

³⁵ Make me go in the way of your teachings; for they are my delight.

²⁴ Your unchanging word is my delight, and the guide of my footsteps.

²³ Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;

²⁴ For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

²² In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

¹ My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:

¹⁷⁶ I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.

¹⁴¹ I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.

¹⁰⁹ My soul is ever in danger; but I still keep the memory of your law.

⁸³ For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.

¹⁴ I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.

¹¹ I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.

⁸ My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

² But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
