7 The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.
The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.
He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.
The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
Your witness is most certain; it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.
He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.
Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.
If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself.
And they give the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and full of wonder are your works, O Lord God, Ruler of all; true and full of righteousness are your ways, eternal King. What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.
