The instructions of the Lord are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
The commandments of the Lord are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are clear,
giving insight for living.
Reverence for the Lord is pure,
lasting forever.
The laws of the Lord are true;
each one is fair.
They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.

They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.

They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.

For the choir director, A Psalm of David,
Psalm 19:7-11 NLT
