What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances that are righteous—like all of this Torah that I am setting before you today?
“You descended on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You gave them just judgments, reliable laws, and good statutes and mitzvot.
You have commanded righteousness, Your testimonies, and great faithfulness.
Your testimonies are righteous forever —make me understand, so I may live.
Truth is the essence of Your word, and all Your righteous rulings are eternal.
All Your mitzvot are faithful. They persecute me with a lie—help me!
I have seen a limit to all perfection, yet Your commandment is boundless.
Your arm is mighty, Your hand is strong, exalted is Your right hand.
Clouds and darkness are all around Him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
Adonai was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to make Torah great and glorious.
Though I were to write out for him ten thousand things from My Torah, they are regarded as something strange.
Much in every way. First of all, they were entrusted with the sayings of God.
that He will set you high above all the nations He has made, for praise, fame and honor; and that you are to be a holy people to Adonai your God, as He has promised.”
