But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, And on His Law he meditates day and night.

The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The Law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.

I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart.”

For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they were to teach them to their children,

They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk in His Law;

“If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments,

Blessed is the man whom You discipline, Lord, And whom You teach from Your Law,

And that they might keep His statutes And comply with His laws; Praise the Lord!

Meditations and Prayers Relating to the Law of God.

Aleph

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the Law of the Lord.

Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your Law.

Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your Law.

Give me understanding, so that I may comply with Your Law And keep it with all my heart.

So I will keep Your Law continually, Forever and ever.

The arrogant utterly deride me, Yet I do not turn aside from Your Law.

Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked, Who abandon Your Law.

Lord, I remember Your name in the night, And keep Your Law.

The snares of the wicked have surrounded me, But I have not forgotten Your Law.

Their heart is insensitive, like fat, But I delight in Your Law.

The Law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

May Your compassion come to me so that I may live, For Your Law is my delight.

The arrogant have dug pits for me, People who are not in accord with Your Law.

If Your Law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my misery.

Mem

How I love Your Law! It is my meditation all the day.

My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your Law.
