He then caused the Levites ^H3881 to stand ^H5975 in the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 with cymbals ^H4700, with harps ^H5035, and with lyres ^H3658, according to the command ^H4687 of David ^H1732 and of Gad ^H1410 the king’s ^H4428 seer ^H2374, and of Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030; for the command ^H4687 was from Yahweh ^H3068 by the hand ^H3027 of His prophets ^H5030.

So the service ^H5656 was prepared ^H3559, and the priests ^H3548 stood ^H5975 at their stations ^H5977 and the Levites ^H3881 by their divisions ^H4256 according to the king’s ^H4428 commandment ^H4687.

Now this ^H2088 is the copy ^H6572 of the letter ^H5406 which ^H834 King ^H4428 Artaxerxes ^H783 gave ^H5414 to Ezra ^H5830 the priest ^H3548, the scribe ^H5608, [fn]learned ^H5608 in the words ^H1697 of the commandments ^H4687 of Yahweh ^H3068 and His statutes ^H2706 to Israel ^H3478:

“So now ^H6258, our God ^H430, what ^H4100 shall we say ^H559 after ^H310 this ^H2088? For we have forsaken ^H5800 Your commandments ^H4687,

“Then You came ^H3381 down ^H3381 on Mount ^H2022 Sinai ^H5514,

And spoke ^H1696 with them from heaven ^H8064;

You gave ^H5414 them upright ^H3477 judgments ^H4941 and true ^H571 laws ^H8451,

Good ^H2896 statutes ^H2706 and commandments ^H4687.

“But they, our fathers ^H1, acted ^H2102 presumptuously ^H2102;

They [fn]became ^H7185 H6203 stiff-necked ^H7185 H6203 and would not listen ^H8085 to Your commandments ^H4687.

And testified ^H5749 to them in order to turn ^H7725 them back ^H7725 to Your law ^H8451.

Yet they acted ^H2102 presumptuously ^H2102 and did not listen ^H8085 to Your commandments ^H4687 but sinned ^H2398 against Your judgments ^H4941,

By which ^H834 if a man ^H120 does ^H6213 them, he shall live ^H2421.

And they gave ^H5414 a stubborn ^H5637 shoulder ^H3802 and stiffened ^H7185 their neck ^H6203, and would not listen ^H8085.

“Now our kings ^H4428, our princes ^H8269, our priests ^H3548, and our fathers ^H1 did not do ^H6213 Your law ^H8451

Or pay ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to Your commandments ^H4687 and Your testimonies ^H5715 with which ^H834 You testified ^H5749 against them.

We also [fn]set ^H5975 ourselves under ^H5921 the commandments ^H4687 to give ^H5414 yearly ^H8141 one-third ^H7992 of a [fn]shekel ^H8255 for the service ^H5656 of the house ^H1004 of our God ^H430:

The heads ^H7218 of the Levites ^H3881 were Hashabiah ^H2811, Sherebiah ^H8274, and Jeshua ^H3091 the son ^H1121 of Kadmiel ^H6934, with their brothers ^H251 opposite ^H5048 them, to praise ^H1984 and give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034, by the commandment ^H4687 of David ^H1732 the man ^H376 of God ^H430, watch ^H4929 by ^H5980 watch ^H4929.

“I have not departed ^H4185 from the command ^H4687 of His lips ^H8193;

I have treasured ^H6845 the words ^H561 of His mouth ^H6310 [fn]more ^H4480 than ^H4480 my [fn]portion ^H2706 of food.

The precepts ^H6490 of Yahweh ^H3068 are right ^H3477, rejoicing ^H8055 the heart ^H3820;

The commandment ^H4687 of Yahweh ^H3068 is pure ^H1249, enlightening ^H215 the eyes ^H5869.

That they should set ^H7760 their confidence ^H3689 in God ^H430

And not forget ^H7911 the deeds ^H4611 of God ^H410,

But observe ^H5341 His commandments ^H4687,

If ^H518 they profane ^H2490 My statutes ^H2708

And do not keep ^H8104 My commandments ^H4687,

Aleph

[fn]Praise ^H1984 Yah ^H3050!

How blessed ^H835 is the man ^H376 who [fn]fears ^H3372 Yahweh ^H3068,

Beth

Who greatly ^H3966 delights ^H2654 in His commandments ^H4687.

Then ^H227 I shall not be ^H954 ashamed ^H954

When I look ^H5027 [fn]upon all ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687.

With all ^H3605 my heart ^H3820 I have sought ^H1875 You;

Do not let me stray ^H7686 from Your commandments ^H4687.

I am a sojourner ^H1616 in the earth ^H776;

Do not hide ^H5641 Your commandments ^H4687 from me.

You rebuke ^H1605 the arrogant ^H2086, [fn]the cursed ^H779,

Who stray ^H7686 from Your commandments ^H4687.

I shall run ^H7323 the way ^H1870 of Your commandments ^H4687,

For You will enlarge ^H7337 my heart ^H3820.

Cause me to walk ^H1869 in the path ^H5410 of Your commandments ^H4687,

For I delight ^H2654 in it.

I shall [fn]delight ^H8173 in Your commandments ^H4687,

Which ^H834 I love ^H157.

I hastened ^H2363 and did not delay ^H4102

To keep ^H8104 Your commandments ^H4687.

Teach ^H3925 me good ^H2898 [fn]discernment ^H2940 and knowledge ^H1847,

For I believe ^H539 in Your commandments ^H4687.

Yodh

Your hands ^H3027 made ^H6213 me and established ^H3559 me;

Give ^H995 me understanding ^H995, that I may learn ^H3925 Your commandments ^H4687.

All ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687 are faithful ^H530;

They have persecuted ^H7291 me with lying ^H8267; help ^H5826 me!

I have seen ^H7200 [fn]a limit ^H7093 to all ^H3605 perfection ^H8502;

Your commandment ^H4687 is exceedingly ^H3966 broad ^H7342.

Your commandments ^H4687 make ^H2449 me wiser ^H2449 than ^H4480 my enemies ^H340,

For they are [fn]mine forever ^H5769.

Depart ^H5493 from me, evildoers ^H7489,

That I may observe ^H5341 the commandments ^H4687 of my God ^H430.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I love ^H157 Your commandments ^H4687

Above ^H4480 gold ^H2091, even above ^H4480 fine ^H6337 gold ^H6337.

I opened ^H6473 my mouth ^H6310 wide ^H6473 and panted ^H7602,

For I longed ^H2968 for Your commandments ^H4687.

Trouble ^H6862 and anguish ^H4689 have found ^H4672 me,

Yet Your commandments ^H4687 are my delight ^H8191.
