because Avraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my mitzvot, my statutes, and my laws.*
and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the mitzvah, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore; and you shall not fear other gods:
All the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and mitzvot,
that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.
I have done what is just and righteous. Don't leave me to my oppressors.
Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.
The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.
I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your mitzvot are my delight.
Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed.
Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
The words of the LORD are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.*
Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forevermore.
When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.*
For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
*Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
For the mitzvah is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways: behold, you were angry, and we sinned: in them [have we been] of long time; and shall we be saved?
Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, the LORD, God Tzeva'ot.
I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn't have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn't have known coveting, unless the law had said, *You shall not covet.*
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates.
