But his delight is in the Torah of Adonai, and on His Torah he meditates day and night.
Remember His wonders that He has done, His miracles and the judgments of His mouth,
Though princes sit and talk against me, Your servant meditates on Your decrees.
I reach out my hands for Your mitzvot, which I love, and meditate on Your decrees.
I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all You have done. I ponder the work of Your hands.
Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have dominion over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression.
My soul is satisfied as with fat and oil, so my mouth praises You with joyful lips.
I will remember the deeds of Adonai. Yes, I will muse about Your wonders of old.

Moreover, it was not just as we had hoped, but they gave of themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God’s will.

Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things, for in doing so you will save yourself and those who hear you.
In pointing out these things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Messiah Yeshua, nourished in the words of the faith and the sound teaching that you have been following.
He gave Himself for us so that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and so that He might purify for Himself a chosen people, zealous for good deeds.
This book of the Torah should not depart from your mouth—you are to meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will make your ways prosperous and then you will be successful.
