  1. Psalm 105:45 Hebrew Hallelu Yah

16 For I command you this day to love the Lord your God and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in his ways. If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy.

17 “But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods, 18 then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy.

19 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! 20 You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This[a] is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

16 For I command you today to love(A) the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live(B) and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed.(C) You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you(D) that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.(E) Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love(F) the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life,(G) and he will give(H) you many years in the land(I) he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
