I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.

Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous judgments.

The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song [shall be] with me -- A prayer to the God of my life.

Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.

I know, O LORD, that Your judgments [are] right, And [that] in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

Righteous [are] You, O LORD, And upright [are] Your judgments.

The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.

"And what great nation [is there] that has [such] statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?

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