41 And let Your lovingkindness come to me, O LORD, and Your salvation, according to Your Promise.
42 So shall I answer to my blasphemers, for I trust in Your Word.
43 And take not the Word of Truth utterly out of my mouth, for I await Your Judgments.
44 So shall I always keep Your Law forever and ever.
45 And I will walk in freedom, because I seek Your Precepts.
46 I will speak also of Your Testimonies before kings and will not be ashamed.
47 My delight will be in Your Commandments, which I have loved.
48 My hands, also, will I lift to Your Commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate on Your Statutes.
6 “These, now, are the Commandments, Ordinances, and Laws, which the LORD your God Commanded to teach, so that you might do them in the land to which you go to possess,
2 “so that you might fear the LORD your God and keep all His Ordinances and his Commandments which I command you—you and your son and your son’s son, all the days of your life—so that your days may be prolonged.
3 “Hear, therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do it, so that it may go well with you, and that you may increase mightily in the land that flows with milk and honey, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you.
4 “Hear, O Israel, The LORD our God is LORD only,
5 “and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 “And these words which I command you this day shall be in your heart.
7 “And you shall repeat them continually to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and as you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 “And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand. And they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
9 “Also, you shall write them upon the posts of your house and upon your gates.
20 “When your son shall ask you in the future, saying, ‘What do these Testimonies and Ordinances and Laws which the LORD our God has Commanded you mean?’
21 “Then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. But the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty Hand.
22 ‘And the LORD showed great and unpleasant signs and wonders before our eyes, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household,
23 ‘and brought us out from there, to bring us in and to give us the land which He swore to our fathers.
24 ‘Therefore, the LORD has Commanded us to do all these Ordinances, to fear the LORD our God, so that it may go well with us, and that He may preserve us alive at the present time.
25 ‘Moreover, this shall be our righteousness before the LORD our God, if we take heed to keep all these Commandments, as He has Commanded us.’
8 But if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”, you do well.
9 But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are rebuked by the Law as transgressors.
10 For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet fails in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For He Who said, “You shall not commit adultery”, also said, “You shall not kill”. Now, though you do no adultery, if you kill you are still a transgressor of the Law.
12 So speak and so do as those who shall be judged by the Law of liberty.
13 For there shall be merciless condemnation for the one who does not show mercy. And mercy rejoices against condemnation.
