Psalms 19:8-14

8The Lord's rules are always right. If we obey them, they make us really happy. The Lord's commands are completely good. They show us how to live in a good way.

9It is right for us to respect the Lord. That will always help us. The laws of the Lord are true. They are right and fair.

10They are more valuable than gold, even the best gold. They are sweeter than the best honey.

11Your laws warn us to do what is right. If we obey them, they are a great help to us.

12Nobody realizes every time they do something wrong. Please forgive me for the sins that I do not know about.

13Lord, stop me doing things that I know are wrong. Do not let those sins rule my life. Then I will not be guilty. I will not have turned against you in a bad way.

14Lord, I want to make you happy. I want my words and my thoughts to please you. You are my strong Rock and you are my Redeemer.
