Psalms 119:16

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

You shall say before Yahweh your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.

My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.

They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great plunder.

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us. Look, and see our reproach.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”

Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.

Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.

I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law.

Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.

I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.

Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I don’t forget your law.

I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my delight.

All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

I will observe your statutes. Don’t utterly forsake me.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.

My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won’t forget your law.

I am small and despised. I don’t forget your precepts.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments are my delight.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I don’t forget your commandments.

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
