Rejoicing

I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my heart.

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

Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; there shall you 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 offerings which you vow unto the LORD:

And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place his name there.

And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in those ways is continuance, and we shall be saved.

Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.

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

Is pure

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tested in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Behold, I have longed after your precepts: revive me in your righteousness.

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Enlightening

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

You through your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me.

For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

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

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, you shall not covet.

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

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