6. In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7. All his precepts are sure.

8. They are established for ever and ever,

8. They are done in truth and uprightness.

9. He hath sent redemption unto his people;

9. He hath commanded his covenant for ever:

9. Holy and reverend is his name.

10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

10. A good understanding have all they that do thereafter:

10. His praise endureth for ever.
