Psalms 19:7-14

7The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.

10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

11By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

12But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

13Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

14May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
