I will thank you by living as I should! - Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm.

its jealousy as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame. - Worry weighs a person down;
an encouraging word cheers a person up. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. - Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.
- But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.

that I might not sin against you. - But I trust in your unfailing love.

they are my heart’s delight. - “Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”

so that I may honor you. - My child, pay attention to what I say.
Listen carefully to my words.
Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart. - My child, if your heart is wise,
my own heart will rejoice! - That is why the Lord says,
“Turn to me now, while there is time.
Give me your hearts.
Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.” - “Don’t you understand either?” he asked. “Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you? Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)
- Give me an eagerness for your laws
rather than a love for money! - Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.

my fortress where I will not be shaken.
