Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
