Rejoicing

I delight to do Your will, O my God;

Your Law is within my heart.”

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

then it shall come about that the place in which the Lord your God will choose for His name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution of your hand, and all your choice votive offerings which you will vow to the Lord.

and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter and your male and female servants and the Levite who is in your town, and the stranger and the orphan and the widow who are in your midst, in the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name.

All the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a great festival, because they understood the words which had been made known to them.

You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in them a long time;
And shall we be saved?

Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;
For I have been called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.

For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,

Is pure

The words of the Lord are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me through Your righteousness.

Every word of God is tested;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

Enlightening

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;

Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever mine.

For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

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! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not

covet.”

For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.

For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.”

General references

Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law which I am setting before you today?

“They are all straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
