Law

A Maskil of Asaph.

Listen, O my people, to my instruction;

Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

He declares His words to Jacob,
His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.

These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.

“Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll

in the presence of the Levitical priests.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

“I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Perfect

As for God, His way is

blameless;

The word of the Lord is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

The works of His hands are

truth and justice;

All His precepts are sure.

“The Rock! His work is perfect,

For all His ways are just;

A God of faithfulness and without injustice,

Righteous and upright is He.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may

prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

Converting

He restores my soul;
He guides me in the

paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

Beth.
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to Your word.

Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

Testimony

Your testimonies are fully confirmed;

Holiness befits Your house,

O Lord, forevermore.

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he *said to me, “Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Sure

The works of His hands are

truth and justice;

All His precepts are sure.

“Truly is not my house so with God?
For He has made an everlasting covenant with me,
Ordered in all things, and secured;
For all my salvation and all my desire,
Will He not indeed make it grow?

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”

so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

Making

The unfolding of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.

To give prudence to the naive,
To the youth knowledge and discretion,

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
