(A)the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is (B)pure,
    (C)enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules[a] of the Lord are (D)true,
    and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than (E)gold,
    even much (F)fine gold;
(G)sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of (H)the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    (I)in keeping them there is great reward.

12 (J)Who can discern his errors?
    (K)Declare me innocent from (L)hidden faults.
13 (M)Keep back your servant also from (N)presumptuous sins;
    let them not have (O)dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
    and innocent of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
    be acceptable in your sight,
    O Lord, my (P)rock and my (Q)redeemer.
