41 And let thy loving [a]kindness come unto me, O Lord, and thy salvation according to thy promise.
42 So shall I [b]make answer unto my blasphemers: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for I wait for thy judgments.
44 So shall I always keep thy Law forever and ever.
45 And I will [c]walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak also of thy testimonies before [d]Kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And my delight shall be in thy Commandments, which I have loved.
48 Mine hands also will I lift up unto thy Commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
6 1 An exhortation to fear God, and keep his commandments, 5 Which is, to love him with all thine heart. 7 The same must be taught to the posterity. 16 Not to tempt God. 25 Righteousness is contained in the Law.
1 These now are the commandments, ordinances, and [a]laws, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest [b]fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son all the days of thy life, even that thy days may be prolonged:
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and take heed to do it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily [c]in the land that floweth with milk and honey, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord only,
5 And (A)thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 (B)And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.
7 And thou shalt [d]rehearse them continually unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou tarriest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up:
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be [e]as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 Also thou shalt write them upon the [f]posts of thine house, and upon thy gates.
20 When [a]thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean these testimonies, and ordinances, and Laws, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22 And the Lord showed signs and wonders great and evil upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household before our eyes,
23 And [b]brought us out from thence, to bring us in, and to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
24 Therefore the Lord hath commanded us, to do all these ordinances, and to fear the Lord our God, that it may go ever well with us, and that he may preserve us alive at this present.
25 Moreover, this shall be our [c]righteousness before the Lord our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments, as he hath commanded us.
8 [a]But if ye fulfill the [b]royal Law according to the Scripture, which saith, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.
9 But if ye regard the persons, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the Law, as transgressors.
10 [c]For whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet faileth in one point, he is guilty of [d]all.
11 [e]For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now though thou doest none adultery, yet if thou killest, thou art a transgressor of the Law.
12 [f]So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judgeth by the Law of liberty.
13 For there shall be condemnation merciless to him that showeth not [g]mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against condemnation.
