⁹⁷ <MEM> O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day.

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

¹²⁷ For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.

⁴⁸ And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.

¹ He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.

¹⁰ For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul;

¹⁶⁷ My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.

¹⁶⁵ Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.

¹⁵⁹ See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.

¹¹³ <SAMECH> I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.

⁸ Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

¹⁹ And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:

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.
