⁸This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

⁹And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

³²And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

³³And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

³⁴And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

³¹As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

¹⁵Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

³Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

²²Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

¹²Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

⁶The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

⁴Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

⁷The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

⁸The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

⁴For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

⁶By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

⁸I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

³O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

⁴In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

¹Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

⁷That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

⁸And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

⁸I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

⁵Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

¹⁹Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

⁷The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

⁸They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

⁹Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
