I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law {is} within my heart. {within...: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}

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

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart {is} my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

But this {shall be} the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

The steps of a {good} man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. {ordered: or, established}

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

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

For this {is} the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {put: Gr. give} {in: or, upon}

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they {are} ever with me. {they...: Heb. it is ever with me}

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; {steps: or, goings}

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, {and} established my goings. {an...: Heb. a pit of noise}

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent {man} looketh well to his going.

Hold up my goings in thy paths, {that} my footsteps slip not. {slip...: Heb. be not moved}

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

{Of} the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches {of} ivory, {brought} out of the isles of Chittim. {the company...: or, they have made thy hatches of ivory well trodden} {company: Heb. daughter}

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

But this {shall be} the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart {is} my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

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

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

[{A Psalm} of David.] Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; {therefore} I shall not slide.

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
