Psalm 19:7-14

The law gives light

    The law of the Lord is perfect,
        reviving the soul;
    the decrees of the Lord are sure,
        making wise the simple; 
     the precepts of the Lord are right,
        rejoicing the heart;
    the commandment of the Lord is clear,
        enlightening the eyes; 
     the fear of the Lord is pure,
        enduring forever;
    the ordinances of the Lord are true
        and righteous altogether. 
     More to be desired are they than gold,
        even much fine gold;
    sweeter also than honey,
        and drippings of the honeycomb.
 
     Moreover by them is your servant warned;
        in keeping them there is great reward. 
     But who can detect their errors?
        Clear me from hidden faults. 
     Keep back your servant also from the insolent;
        do not let them have dominion over me.
    Then I shall be blameless,
        and innocent of great transgression.
 
     Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
        be acceptable to you,
        O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
