⁴² And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.

⁴³ And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.

⁴⁴ And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

⁴⁵ And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

⁴⁶ And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.

⁴⁷ And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

⁴⁸ And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

6 `And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

² so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.

³ `And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴ `Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;

⁵ and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,

⁶ and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

⁷ and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

⁸ and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

⁹ and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

²⁰ `When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

²¹ then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;

²² and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

²³ and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

²⁴ And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;

²⁵ and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.

⁸ If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' -- ye do well;

⁹ and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;

¹⁰ for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one [point], he hath become guilty of all;

¹¹ for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,' said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;' and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law;

¹² so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,

¹³ for the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.
