9 Mũndũ mwĩthĩ-rĩ, angĩiga mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩ mũtheru atĩa? Nĩ na ũndũ wa gũtũũra athĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word.
10 Ngũrongoragia na ngoro yakwa yothe; ndũkanareke njũrũũre ndigane na maathani maku.
With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments.
11 Nĩhithĩte kiugo gĩaku thĩinĩ wa ngoro yakwa, nĩguo ndikae gũkwĩhĩria.
Your word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against you.
12 Wee Jehova, ũrokĩgoocwo; kĩndute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Blessed are you, O LORD: teach me your statutes.
13 Nĩndĩriugaga na ngacookera na mĩromo yakwa ũhoro wa mawatho mothe marĩa moimĩte kanua gaku.
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of your mouth.
14 Nĩngenagio nĩkũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ akenagĩra kũgĩa na ũtonga mũnene.

17 Niĩ ndungata yaku njĩka wega, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; niĩ nĩndĩrĩathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live, and keep your word.
18 Hingũra maitho makwa nĩguo nyone maũndũ ma magegania marĩa marĩ watho-inĩ waku.
Open you mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
19 Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni gũkũ thĩ; ndũkaahithe maathani maku.
I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me.
20 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩrahĩĩahĩĩa nĩ kwĩrirĩria mawatho maku o mahinda mothe.
My soul breaks for the longing that it has unto your judgments at all times.
21 Wee nĩũkũũmaga arĩa etĩĩi, o acio manyiitĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, na arĩa morũũraga magatiga maathani maku.
You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do go astray from your commandments.
22 Njehereria kĩnyũrũri na kũmenwo, nĩgũkorwo ndũũrĩte nũmĩtie kĩrĩra gĩaku.

23 O na gũtuĩka aathani maikaraga thĩ hamwe makanjambia, ndungata yaku nĩĩrĩcũũranagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes.
24 Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩkĩo ngenagĩra; nĩkĩo kĩĩheaga mataaro.
Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
25 Ngometio thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
My soul cleaves unto the dust: you restore life in me according to your word.
26 Nĩndakwĩrire mĩthiĩre yakwa nawe ũkĩnjĩtĩka; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
I have declared my ways, and you heard me: teach me your statutes.
27 Menyithia ũrutani wa mawatho maku; na niĩ nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa magegania maku.
Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk of your wondrous works.
28 Ngoro yakwa nĩ nogu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha; njĩkĩra hinya kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
My soul melts for heaviness: strengthen you me according unto your word.
29 Njeheranĩria na mĩthiĩre ya maheeni; nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi waku nduta watho waku.
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me your law graciously.
30 Niĩ-rĩ, ndĩĩthuurĩire njĩra ya ma; matua maku ndĩmaigĩte ngoro-inĩ yakwa.
I have chosen the way of truth: your judgments have I laid before me.
31 Wee Jehova, nĩnũmĩtie kĩrĩra gĩaku; ndũkanareke njonorithio.
I have stuck unto your testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
32 Hanyũkaga o na njĩra ya maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwohorithĩtie ngoro yakwa.
I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart.
33 Wee Jehova, nduta kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, na niĩ ndĩkĩrũmie nginya mũthia.
Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 He ũmenyo, na nĩndĩrĩrũmagia watho waku na ndĩwathĩkagĩre na ngoro yakwa yothe.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Ngeragĩria njĩra-inĩ cia maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩmo ngenagĩra.
Make me to go in the path of your commandments; for therein do I delight.
36 Erekeria ngoro yakwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩguo ĩtige kwerekera ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtongia.
Incline my heart unto your testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Girĩrĩria maitho makwa matige kwĩrorera maũndũ ma tũhũ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and you restore life in me in your way.
38 Hingĩria ndungata yaku kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, nĩgeetha wĩtigagĩrwo.
Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.
39 Njehereria njono iria ndĩĩtigagĩra, nĩgũkorwo mawatho maku nĩ mega.
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.
40 Kaĩ nĩndĩĩriragĩria mawatho maku-ĩ! Tũũria muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
Behold, I have longed after your precepts: restore life in me in your righteousness.
41 Wee Jehova, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũronginyĩra, ũhonokio waku ũnginyĩre kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku;
Let your mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even your salvation, according to your word.
42 nĩguo ngoragwo na ũndũ wa gũcookeria andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩhokete kiugo gĩaku.
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproaches me: for I trust in your word.
43 Ndũkandunye kiugo kĩa ma kuuma kanua-inĩ gakwa, nĩgũkorwo njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa mawatho-inĩ maku.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments.
44 Ngũtũũra njathĩkagĩra watho waku, nginya tene na tene.
So shall I keep your law continually for ever and ever.
45 Ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩ na wĩyathi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmaathaga mawatho maku.
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts.
46 Nĩndĩrĩaragia ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku mbere ya athamaki na ndirĩconokaga,
I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 nĩgũkorwo nĩngenagĩra maathani maku tondũ nĩndĩmendete.
And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.
48 Ndĩrĩambararagia moko makwa kũrĩ maathani maku marĩa nyendete, na ndĩcũũranagie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.
49 Ririkana kiugo gĩaku kũrĩ ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũũheete kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.
50 Ũndũ ũrĩa ũũhooreragia ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ nĩ ũyũ: atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nĩkĩo gĩtũũragia muoyo wakwa.
This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened me.
51 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maanyũrũragia matekwĩgirĩrĩria, no nditiganagĩria watho waku.
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from your law.
52 Nĩndirikanaga mawatho maku ma tene, Wee Jehova, namo nĩmahooreragia.
I remembered your judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
53 Nyiitagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa aaganu, o acio maatiganĩirie watho waku.
Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law.
54 Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 Ũtukũ ndirikanaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ngakĩrũmia watho waku Wee Jehova.
I have remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept your law.
56 Ũũ nĩguo ngoretwo ngĩĩka: nĩnjathĩkagĩra mawatho maku.
This I had, because I kept your precepts.
57 Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe igai rĩakwa; nĩngwĩrĩte atĩ ndĩathĩkagĩra ciugo ciaku.
You are my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep your words.
58 Maathĩĩte ũthiũ waku na ngoro yakwa yothe; nginyagĩria wega waku o ta ũrĩa wĩranĩire.
I implored your favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to your word.
59 Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto your testimonies.
60 Nĩngũhiũha na ndigũcererwo gwathĩkĩra maathani maku.
I made haste, and delayed not to keep your commandments.
61 O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten your law.
62 Ũtukũ gatagatĩ njarahũkaga ngũcookerie ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto you because of your righteous judgments.
63 Niĩ ndĩ mũrata wa andũ arĩa othe magwĩtigĩrĩte, o arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your precepts.
64 Wee Jehova, thĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo waku; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
The earth, O LORD, is full of your mercy: teach me your statutes.
65 Wee Jehova, ĩka ndungata yaku kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according unto your word.
66 Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments.
67 Mbere itanoona thĩĩna nĩndahĩtagia, no rĩu nĩnjathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept your word.
68 Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
You are good, and do good; teach me your statutes.
69 O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep your precepts with my whole heart.
70 Ngoro ciao nĩ nyũmũ na itirĩ tha, no niĩ ngenagĩra watho waku.
Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in your law.
71 Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.
72 Watho ũrĩa uumĩte kanua gaku nĩ wa bata mũno harĩ niĩ, gũkĩra ngiri cia icunjĩ cia betha na thahabu.
The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73 Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
74 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
They that fear you will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in your word.
75 Jehova, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mawatho maku nĩ ma ũthingu, na ũnyonetie thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.
I know, O LORD, that your judgments are right, and that you in faithfulness have afflicted me.
76 Wendani waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrotuĩka wa kũũhooreria, kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku.
Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant.
77 Ĩtĩkĩra tha ciaku inginyĩre nĩguo ndũũre muoyo, nĩgũkorwo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for your law is my delight.
78 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maroconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa kũnjĩka ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi; no niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.
79 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Let those that fear you turn unto me, and those that have known your testimonies.
80 Ngoro yakwa ĩroaga ũcuuke ũhoro-inĩ wa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩguo ndikanaconorithio.
Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81 Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
82 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
Mine eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me?
83 O na gũtuĩka haana ta mondo ya rũũa ya ndibei ĩigĩtwo ndogo-inĩ, ndiriganagĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.
84 Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
The proud have dug pits for me, which are not after your law.
86 Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help you me.
87 Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts.
88 Menyerera muoyo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku, na ndĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩa kanua gaku.
Restore life in me after your loving kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.
89 Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.
For ever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.
90 Wĩhokeku waku nĩ wa kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa; nĩwe warũmirie thĩ, nayo ĩgagĩikara o ĩrũmĩte.
Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.
91 Mawatho maku matũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo indo ciothe nĩwe itungataga.
They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants.
92 Korwo watho waku tiguo ũngenagia, ingĩanathira nĩ mĩnyamaro yakwa.
Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaariganĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo ũndũũrĩtie muoyo nĩ ũndũ wamo.
I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened me.
94 Honokia, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ waku, na nĩĩmaathĩte mawatho maku.
I am yours, save me: for I have sought your precepts.
95 Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider your testimonies.
96 Ũndũ o wothe mũkinyanĩru wega, nĩnyonete nĩ ũrĩ mũthia; no maathani maku matirĩ mũhaka.
I have seen an end of all perfection: but your commandment is exceeding broad.
97 Kaĩ nĩnyendete watho waku-ĩ! Ndindaga ngĩtarania ũhoro waguo mũthenya wothe.
O how I love your law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Maathani maku matũmaga njũhĩge gũkĩra thũ ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo makoragwo hamwe na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
You through your commandments have made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra arutani akwa othe, nĩgũkorwo ndaranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for your testimonies are my (meditation)
100 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra athuuri, nĩgũkorwo njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep your precepts.
101 Nĩndigagĩrĩria magũrũ makwa matikagerere njĩra o yothe njũru, nĩgeetha njathĩkagĩre kiugo gĩaku.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word.
102 Niĩ nditiganĩirie mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe ũndutĩte ũhoro ũcio.
I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught me.
103 Kaĩ ciugo ciaku irĩ mũrĩo ngĩcicama-ĩ, irĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ ũrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa!
How sweet are your words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Ngĩĩaga na ũtaũku nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra gĩaku; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩthũire njĩra o yothe njũru.
Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 Kiugo gĩaku nĩkĩo tawa wa magũrũ makwa, na ũtheri wa kũmũrĩka njĩra yakwa.
Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106 Nĩndĩĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa na ngagwatĩria, atĩ nĩndĩrĩrũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku ma ũthingu.
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteous judgments.
107 Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
I am afflicted very much: restore life in me, O LORD, according unto your word.
108 Wee Jehova, ĩtĩkĩra ũgooci wa kwĩyendera wa kanua gakwa, na ũkĩndute mawatho maku.
Accept, I plead to you, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me your judgments.
109 O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your law.
110 Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from your precepts.
111 Mawatho maku nĩmo igai rĩakwa nginya tene; nĩmo gĩkeno kĩa ngoro yakwa.
Your testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩtuĩte kũrũmagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku o nginya mũthia.
I have inclined mine heart to perform your statutes always, even unto the end.
113 Nĩthũire andũ a ngoro igĩrĩ, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love.
114 Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na ngo yakwa; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word.
115 Njehererai, inyuĩ eeki ũũru, nĩguo ngĩrũmie maathani ma Ngai wakwa!
Depart from me, all of you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Nyiitagĩrĩra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; ndũkareke kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa kĩharagane.
Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Ndiiragĩrĩra, na nĩngũhonokio; ngũtũũra ndĩĩte uuge waku.
Hold you me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto your statutes continually.
118 Nĩũregaga arĩa othe matiganaga na kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩgũkorwo kwĩheenia kũu meheenagia nakuo nĩ gwa tũhũ.
You have trodden down all them that go astray from your statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Arĩa othe aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ũmateaga ta gĩko; nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩnyendete kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies.
120 Mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũinainaga nĩgũgwĩtigĩra; njikaraga na guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku.
My flesh trembles for fear of you; and I am afraid of your judgments.
121 Niĩ njĩkĩte maũndũ ma ũthingu na ma kĩhooto; ndũkandiganĩrie harĩ arĩa maahinyagĩrĩria.
I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
122 Menyerera ũgima wa ndungata yaku; ndũkareke andũ arĩa etĩĩi maahinyĩrĩrie.
Be guarantor for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
123 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩgũtũũra njũũthĩrĩirie ũhonokio waku, ngacũthĩrĩria kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩa ũthingu.
Mine eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.
124 Ĩkaga ndungata yaku kũringana na wendo waku, na ũndutage kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Deal with your servant according unto your mercy, and teach me your statutes.
125 Niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; he gũkũũrana maũndũ, nĩguo hote gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.
126 Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ nĩnginyu wĩke ũndũ, tondũ andũ nĩmathũkĩtie watho waku.
It is time for you, LORD, to work: for they have made void your law.
127 Tondũ nĩnyendete maathani maku gũkĩra thahabu, ngamenda mũno gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie,
Therefore I love your commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128 na tondũ nĩnduĩte mawatho maku mothe nĩmagĩrĩire, nĩthũire njĩra o yothe ĩtarĩ ya ma.
Therefore I esteem all your precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
