Psalm 19:10-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.(A)
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.(B)
12 But who can detect one’s own errors?
Clear me from hidden faults.(C)
13 Keep back your servant also from the insolent;[a]
do not let them have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless
and innocent of great transgression.(D)
