To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them. - I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;

And works righteousness,
And speaks the truth in his heart;

Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend. - I have taught you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in right paths.
