he who commands the sun and ¹  it does not shine ²  and seals up ³  the stars;

And he reveals ¹  this ²  for correction, and says that they must turn ³  from evil.

With his hands ¹  he covers ²  the lightning, and directs it against its target.

The clouds ¹  go round in circles, wheeling about according to his plans, to carry out ²  all that he commands them over the face of the whole inhabited world.

So the Gadites and the Reubenites replied to Moses, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.

I realize that everything has its limits, but your commands are beyond full comprehension. ¹ 

Turn away from me, you evil men, so that I can observe ¹  the commands of my God. ² 

I open my mouth and pant, because I long ¹  for your commands.

Distress and hardship confront ¹  me, yet I find delight in your commands.

My child, ²  do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep ³  my commandments,

and not pay attention to Jewish myths ¹  and commands of people who reject the truth.

Therefore, although God has overlooked ¹  such times of ignorance, ²  he now commands all people ³  everywhere to repent, ⁴ 

“And now what are we able to say after this, our God? For we have forsaken your commandments

Your commandments ¹  make me wiser than my enemies, for I am always aware of them.

My child, ²  keep my words and treasure up my commands in your own keeping. ³ 

Then I would not be ashamed, if ¹  I were focused on ²  all your commands.

You reprimand arrogant people. Those who stray from your commands are doomed. ¹ 

I run along the path of your commands, for you enable me to do so. ¹ 

Guide me ¹  in the path of your commands, for I delight to walk in it. ² 

I will find delight in your commands, which I love.
