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

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

¹⁶ that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

⁸ To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law `is' within my heart.

³⁵ Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.

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

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

⁴ but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

¹⁰ because this `is' the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

⁷ because the mind of the flesh `is' enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

⁷ Hearken unto Me, ye who know righteousness, A people, in whose heart `is' My law, Fear ye not the reproach of men, And for their reviling be not affrighted,

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.

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

⁹ Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

²⁹ but a Jew `is' he who is `so' inwardly, and circumcision `is' of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God.

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

⁷² Better to me `is' the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

⁹² Unless Thy law `were' my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.

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

⁹⁸ Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it `is' before me to the age.

⁹⁹ Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies `are' my meditation.

¹⁰⁰ Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.

¹⁰¹ From every evil path I restrained my feet, So that I keep Thy word.

¹⁰² From Thy judgments I turned not aside, For Thou -- Thou hast directed me.

¹⁰³ How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴ From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!

¹¹¹ I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy of my heart `are' they.

¹¹³ `Samech.' Doubting ones I have hated, And Thy law I have loved.

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

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

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

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

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