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

¹⁵ In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy paths.

² But -- in the law of Jehovah `is' his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

¹² Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.

¹² Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah -- and they have borne their iniquity.

⁹ High is thy hand above thine adversaries, And all thine enemies are cut off.

²¹ `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

¹⁷ if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

²² and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,

²⁴ for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;

²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.
