⁸ and which `is' the great nation which hath righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you to-day?

¹⁹ Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

²⁰ He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

¹² `And now, Israel, what is Jehovah thy God asking from thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

¹³ to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?

⁷ The law of Jehovah `is' perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah `are' stedfast, Making wise the simple,

⁸ The precepts of Jehovah `are' upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah `is' pure, enlightening the eyes,

⁹ The fear of Jehovah `is' clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah `are' true, They have been righteous -- together.

¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

¹¹ Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them `is' a great reward.'

⁸⁶ All Thy commands `are' faithfulness, `With' falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.

⁹⁶ Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad `is' Thy command -- exceedingly!

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold -- even fine gold.

¹²⁸ Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!

¹² so that the law, indeed, `is' holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³ That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

¹⁴ for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

¹⁶ every Writing `is' God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that `is' in righteousness,

¹⁷ that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
