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 ) .

Deuteronomy 10:20 In-Context

18 He makes sure orphans and widows receive justice. He loves foreigners and gives them food and clothes.
19 So you should love foreigners, because you were foreigners living in Egypt.
20 Fear the LORD your God, worship him, be loyal to him, and take your oaths in his name.
21 He is your glory. He is your God, who did for you these spectacular and awe-inspiring deeds you saw with your own eyes.
22 When your ancestors went to Egypt, there were 70 of them. Now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.
