The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A ùGod of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.
Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of thy throne; loving-kindness and truth go before thy face.
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.
He is ever mindful of his covenant, -- the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --
All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.
The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever.
if we are unfaithful, *he* abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
And they sing the song of Moses bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; righteous and true [are] thy ways, O King of nations. Who shall not fear [thee], O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy; for all nations shall come and do homage before thee; for thy righteousnesses have been made manifest.
