41 Let your mercy come to me, Lord,
salvation in accord with your promise.
42 Let me answer my taunters with a word,
for I trust in your word.
43 Do not take the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your judgments is my hope.
44 I will keep your law always,
for all time and forever.
45 I will walk freely in an open space
because I cherish your precepts.
46 I will speak openly of your testimonies
without fear even before kings.
47 I delight in your commandments,
which I dearly love.
48 [a]I lift up my hands to your commandments;
I study your statutes, which I love.
38 Aaron the priest ascended Mount Hor(A) at the Lord’s direction, and there he died in the fortieth year after the departure of the Israelites from the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39 Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.
8 However, if you fulfill the royal[a] law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.(A) 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.(B) 10 For whoever keeps the whole law, but falls short in one particular, has become guilty in respect to all of it.(C) 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not kill.”(D) Even if you do not commit adultery but kill, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 (E)So speak and so act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.[b] 13 For the judgment is merciless to one who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.(F)
