Forever and ever.

And will not be ashamed.

47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments,
Which I love.

Psalm 119:41-45

So obedience and liberty are often found together as well as the precepts and statutes. All those are a package that all tie in together.

Liberty in the Old Testament means, on the one hand, deliverance from created forces that would keep people from serving and enjoying their Creator. And on the other hand, it means the joyous happiness of living in fellowship with God under His covenant in the place where He chooses and blesses.
