When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

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

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
