Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God
Which includes the whole worship of him, external and internal:

him shalt thou serve;
heartily and sincerely, according to his revealed will, and him only:

and to him shall thou cleave;
and not turn aside to follow other gods, and worship them:

and swear by his name;
and his only, whenever it is necessary to take an oath, which should not be done rashly or on trivial accounts; and never by any creature, but by the living God; see ( Deuteronomy 6:13 ) .

18 He enacts justice for orphans and widows, and he loves immigrants, giving them food and clothing.

19 That means you must also love immigrants because you were immigrants in Egypt.

20 Revere the LORD your God, serve him, cling to him, swear by his name alone!

21 He is your praise, and he is your God—the one who performed these great and awesome acts that you witnessed with your very own eyes.
