Psalm 19

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; *

the testimony of the Lord is sure, and gives wisdom to the simple.

The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart; *

the commandment of the Lord is pure, and gives light to the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, and endures for ever; *

the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; *

sweeter also than honey, than the drippings from the honeycomb.

Moreover, by them is your servant taught, *

and in keeping them there is great reward.

Who can tell how often he offends? *

O cleanse me from my secret faults.

Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me; *

so shall I be undefiled, and innocent of great offense.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in your sight, *

O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
