   4 He does amazing things that will be remembered; the LORD is merciful and compassionate.
   5 He gives food to his faithful followers; he always remembers his covenant.
   6 He announced that he would do mighty deeds for his people, giving them a land that belonged to other nations.
   7 His acts are characterized by faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable.
   8 They are forever firm, and should be faithfully and properly carried out.
   9 He delivered his people; he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. His name is holy and awesome.
   10 To obey the LORD is the fundamental principle for wise living; all who carry out his precepts acquire good moral insight. He will receive praise forever.
