Songs of Praise (English Poetry) - Part 7 (Commandments)

Lord! Your command will lead
Lighten will these my eyes
The command of the Lord is mighty
Thus the ignorant becomes wise

The laws of the Lord are trustworthy
Tis like a sword two sides sharp-edged
Precious than the fine and pure gold 
Pleasure is with my mind by that 

God’s decrees are is consistent
Glory and justice filled in it 
God's judgments are pure
Gladding  is heart of the lover

Lord! if Your laws to me
Let not give the pleasure,
In my misery I would have died 
It comforts me that I do not die

You make me happy at your command
In fact, they are the cure for me
Your laws will guide me - it will
Yield rewards for those who persevere

Lord!  your word is lamp to my feet
That too for my way is the light 
Tis an elixir sweetening my mouth
It is also a pupil for my eyes

To keep the minds immaculate
To gain the wisdom and knowledge 
Qualities similar to the characters
Quenching is through your words

The commandments written by the Lord
The people should follow properly
The mind should be kept clean and shine
The command is primarily as follows

The Lord is one
The other is none
Except for worshiping the Lord
Either worship will not be done

Image, sculpture or portrait 
Is not optimal on the worship 
As in one the imageless Lord
You will realize and pray insight 

Fall your knees before the Creator
You will leave the worship of creature 
Sacred is the holy name of the Creator 
Do not use it in futile

The Sabbath was set for the Lord
Let's set reserved the whole for him
With the clean heart undefiled
Worship the Lord on that day

Father and mother is the Angels of God
Fearful and humble heart You respect them
Whatever the dishonor to them 
Will you be subject to eternal reproach 

Eroticism can ruin life
Do not wander with pettiness
With pleasure in your own love 
Will you get the blessings of Lord

The custody of the living are with Lord
The rightful owner has no right to it
Then, Who else  has the right to kill
The killing of lives is the worse evil 

Theft, bribery, corruption and scandal 
The deadly images of animosity are 
In the way of your unlimited greed
It Is killed the right of others indeed

Those who do these things are beasts
The curse of deprived will fall on them 
All that is added to the leftover 
Are like the booty taken from poor

Do not mix evil in the case
Do not distort truth by lies 
The trained fake witness will be 
The victim to the justice of the Creator

Do not do injustice in judgment
Do not deny justice to the stranded
When the Lord of Judgment arises
Will they fall into abyss of horrors 

Do not abuse power
Do not be arrogant too
Power is what set to support 
Prevent selfishness in it

Do not try to kill justice
The God of justice will not tolerate
Seeing the of weep of the destitute,
Severe will be HIS wrath too 

Do not desire to crave other’s spouse 
So that do not attain inborn sin
Other’s belongings whatever it is 
Of a mind to grab them not 

Do not deceive the life of the poor
Do not despise humility to the simple
The laborer needs to be paid - before
the sweat of the labor is dried 

You will support the orphan
You will support the afflicted woman
He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth
He will give you treasure in the sky

As you love yourself 
As well you will love your neighbor 
In both the present and the future
The Lord is permanent  to us
