His statutes and judgments to Israel.

These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart.

This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.

I have not departed from the commands of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
more than my daily food.

Considerable in every way. First, they were entrusted with the spoken words of God.

For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures.

Perfect

God—His way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is pure.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

The works of His hands are truth and justice;
all His instructions are trustworthy.

The Rock—His work is perfect;
all His ways are entirely just.
A faithful God, without prejudice,
He is righteous and true.

for His name’s sake.

By keeping Your word.

Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.

Testimony

Lord, Your testimonies are completely reliable;
holiness is the beauty of Your house
for all the days to come.

I rejoice in the way revealed by Your decrees
as much as in all riches.

Bind up the testimony.
Seal up the instruction among my disciples.

He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, yet they testify about Me.

All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins.”

So don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me His prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God.

If we accept the testimony of men, God’s testimony is greater, because it is God’s testimony that He has given about His Son.

Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Sure

The works of His hands are truth and justice;
all His instructions are trustworthy.

Is it not true my house is with God?
For He has established an everlasting covenant with me,
ordered and secured in every detail.
Will He not bring about
my whole salvation and my every desire?

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription:

The Lord knows those who are His,

and

Everyone who names the name of the Lord
must turn away from unrighteousness.

so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

Making

The revelation of Your words brings light
and gives understanding to the inexperienced.
