They are established forever and ever
    to be observed in fidelity and truthfulness.
He has granted deliverance to his people
    and established his covenant forever;
    holy and awe-inspiring is his name.[a]
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;[b]
    those who are guided by it will grow in understanding.
    His praise will last forever.
