Wonderful are Your decrees; my soul cannot but keep them.
As Your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted understand.
I gasp in ardent yearning for Your commandments that I love.
Turn to me then and be gracious as to those who love Your Name.
You promised to direct my steps; free my path from evil.
Favour me with Your smile and teach me Your statutes.

Blessed is He Who comes in YHVH’s Name! We praise You from the house of YHVH. You are my God, and I give You thanks. You are my God, and I give You praise. Give thanks to YHVH, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!
