I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed.

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.

I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know.

Therefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.
