I carefully obey all of your commands. {\cf2\super [601]} \par I hate false teachings.\par
Then that person will confess to people.\par He will say,\par ‘I sinned.\par I changed good into bad.\par But God didn’t give me\par the punishment I deserved!\par
Your teachings make me wise,\par so I hate false teachings.\par
Lord, you turn away every person\par who breaks your laws.\par Why? Because those people lied\par when they agreed to follow you.\par
Help me respond to your words and let me sing my song.\par Lord, all your laws are good.\par
then I will never be ashamed\par when I study your commands.\par
I always remember the Lord’s decisions.\par I obey his laws!\par
Every word that God says is perfect. God is a safe place for people who go to him.
So the law {\cf2\super [56]} is holy, and the command is holy and right and good.
We know that the law {\cf2\super [57]} is spiritual. But I am not spiritual. Sin rules me like I am its slave.
And if I don’t want to do the \{bad\} things I do, then that means that I agree that the law is good.
In my mind, I am happy with God’s law.
And no other nation is great enough to have laws and rules as good as the teachings I give you today.
