The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
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.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
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, Thou shalt not covet.
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
