And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,

Is pure

Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

Every saying of God is tried, A shield He is to those trusting in Him.

so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it is before me to the age.

For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction,

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'
