⁴⁷ And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

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

⁹⁷ `Mem.' O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it `is' my meditation.

⁴⁸ And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

¹⁶ In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.

²¹ for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

⁵ For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,

²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

¹⁶ And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that `it is' good,

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

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

¹⁷⁴ I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law `is' my delight.

¹⁶⁷ Kept hath my soul Thy testimonies, And I do love them exceedingly.

¹⁴⁰ Tried `is' thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.

²⁴ Thy testimonies also `are' my delight, The men of my counsel!

¹ Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,

¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
