Rejoicing

'I delight to do your will, O my God, and your law [is] {deep within me}.'"

In the way of your testimonies I have rejoiced as [I would] over all riches.

{and then} [at] the place that Yahweh your God will choose, to let his name dwell there, there you shall bring all [the things] I [am] commanding you, your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and {your donations}, and all [of] the choice [things], your votive gifts that you vow to Yahweh.

And you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your slave woman and the Levite that [is] in your {towns} and the alien and the orphan and the widow who are in your midst in the place that Yahweh your God will choose to let his name dwell there.

All of the people went to eat, to drink, to send a share, and to have great joy because they understood the words that they had made known to them.

You meet with the one who rejoices, one who does righteousness. In your ways they remember you. Look! You were angry and we sinned against them [in] ancient [times] and we were saved.

Your words were found and I ate them, and your words became to me as jubilation, even as the joy of my heart, for your name is called on me, Yahweh God of hosts.

For I joyfully agree with the law of God in my inner person,

Is pure

The words of Yahweh [are] pure words [like] silver refined in the crucible on the ground, refined seven times.

Look, I have longed for your precepts; revive me in your righteousness.

Every word of God [is] flawless; he [is] a shield for him who takes refuge in him.

So then, the law [is] holy, and the commandment [is] holy and righteous and good.

Enlightening

Consider [and] answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep [the sleep of] death,

Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, because they [are] ever with me.

For Yahweh will give wisdom; from his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.

For [like] a lamp [is] a commandment, and instruction [is] light, and the way of life [is the] reproof of discipline,

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God

For by the works of the law {no person will be declared righteous} before him, for through the law [comes] knowledge of sin.

What then shall we say? [Is] the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

For through the law I died to the law, in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,

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 [the things] that are written in the book of the law to do them."
