Truly I direct my steps by all your precepts; I hate every false way.
Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self,
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this entire law that I am setting before you today?
Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin.
So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
You spurn all who go astray from your statutes, for their cunning is in vain.
That person sings to others and says, ‘I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not paid back to me.
For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
My tongue will sing of your promise, for all your commandments are right.
