'Law' in the Bible

But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple,

The law of his God is his heart, His steps do not slide.

To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law is within my heart.

An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.

And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.

They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law they have refused to walk,

If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

Aleph. O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,

Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law.

The way of falsehood turn aside from me And with Thy law favour me.

Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe it with the whole heart.

And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.

Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I -- in Thy law I have delighted.

Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law is my delight.

The proud have digged for me pits, That are not according to Thy law.

Unless Thy law were my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.

Mem. O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it is my meditation.

My soul is in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

Samech. Doubting ones I have hated, And Thy law I have loved.

Resh. See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.

Falsehood I have hated, yea I abominate it, Thy law I have loved.

Abundant peace have those loving Thy law, And they have no stumbling-block.

I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law is my delight.
