- my counsellors:
- Heb. men of my counsel, "MEM. O how¹ love¹ I²° thy law!ª it¹ [is] my meditationª all¹ the day.ª ... I understandª° more than the ancients,ª¹ because¹ I keepª° thy precepts.ª" {Psa 119:97-100} + "Through thy preceptsª¹ I get understanding:ª° therefore¹¹ I hateª° every¹ falseª way.ª ... NUN. Thy wordª [is] a lampª unto my feet,ª and a lightª unto my path.ª" {Psa 119:104-105} + "Moreover¹ by them is thy servantª warned:ª° [and] in keepingª° of them [there is] greatª reward.ª" {Psa 19:11} + "And it shall be,¹ when he sittethª° upon¹ the throneª of his kingdom,ª that he shall writeª° him¹ a copyª of this¹ lawª in¹ a bookª out of [that which is] beforeª¹ the priestsª the Levites:ª ... That his heartª be not¹ lifted upª° above his brethren,ª¹ and that he turn not asideª°¹ from¹ the commandment,ª [to] the right hand,ª or [to] the left:ª to the end that¹ he may prolongª° [his] daysª in¹ his kingdom,ª he,¹ and his children,ª in the midstª of Israel.ª" {Deu 17:18-20} + "This¹ bookª of the lawª shall not¹ departª° out of thy mouth;ª¹ but thou shalt meditateª° therein dayª and night,ª that¹ thou mayest observeª° to doª° according to all¹ that is writtenª° therein: for¹ then¹ thou shalt makeª°¹ thy wayª prosperous,ª° and then¹ thou shalt have good success.ª°" {Jsh 1:8} + "My son,ª keepª° thy father'sª commandment,ª and forsakeª° not¹ the lawª of thy mother:ª ... For¹ the commandmentª [is] a lamp;ª and the lawª [is] light;ª and reproofsª of instructionª [are] the wayª of life:ª" {Prv 6:20-23} + "To the lawª and to the testimony:ª if¹ they speakª° not¹ according to this¹ word,ª [it is] because¹ [there is] no¹ lightª in them." {Isa 8:20} + "Let²° the¹ wordª of Christª dwellª° inª youª richlyª inª allª wisdom;ª teachingª° andª admonishingª° one anotherª in psalmsª andª hymnsª andª spiritualª songs,ª singingª° withª graceª inª yourª heartsª to the¹ Lord.ª" {Col 3:16} + "Andª thatª fromª a childª thou hast knownª° the¹ holyª scriptures,ª which² are ableª° to make²° thee² wiseª°¹ untoª salvationª throughª faithª whichª is inª Christª Jesus.ª ... Thatª the¹ manª of Godª may beª° perfect,ª throughly furnishedª° untoª allª goodª works.ª" {2Tm 3:15-17}
