My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:

This 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.

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
