7 The works of His hands `are' true and just, Stedfast `are' all His appointments.
The law of Jehovah `is' perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah `are' stedfast, Making wise the simple,
The Rock! -- perfect `is' His work, For all His ways `are' just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright `is' He.
Righteousness and judgment `Are' the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely `is' holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!
He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
All Thy commands `are' faithfulness, `With' falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.
The sum of Thy word `is' truth, And to the age `is' every judgment of Thy righteousness!
if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny himself he is not able.
