Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.
He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.
Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.
You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false.
Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness.
Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.
For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.
Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.
But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.
For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.
But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.
In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,
And what great nation has laws and decisions so right as all this law which I put before you today?
