Psalms 19:8-14

8The Lord’s precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord’s commands are pure and give insight for life.

9The commands to fear the Lord are right and endure forever. The judgments given by the Lord are trustworthy and absolutely just.

10They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.

11Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there; those who obey them receive a rich reward.

12Who can know all his errors? Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of.

13Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless, and innocent of blatant rebellion.

14May my words and my thoughts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my sheltering rock and my redeemer.
