Psalm 19
Cæli enarrant
7
The law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; *
the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent.
8
The statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; *
the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes.
9
The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; *
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10
More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, *
sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb.
11
By them also is your servant enlightened, *
and in keeping them there is great reward.
12
Who can tell how often he offends? *
cleanse me from my secret faults.
13
Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;
let them not get dominion over me; *
then shall I be whole and sound,
and innocent of a great offense.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, *
O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
