Rejoicing

I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches.

then it shall come to pass that to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto Jehovah.

and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

And 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 unto them.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: in them have we been of long time; and shall we be saved?

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

Is pure

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

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.

Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

Enlightening

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the'sleep of death;

Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:

For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.

General references

They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.
