the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.

But -- in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,

And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.

Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in Jehovah.

In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy paths.

And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.

I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.

I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. Selah.
