⁸ The laws of the Lord are right,
    and those who obey them are happy.
The commands of the Lord are just
    and give understanding to the mind.

⁹ Reverence for the Lord is good;
    it will continue forever.
The judgments of the Lord are just;
    they are always fair.

¹⁰ They are more desirable than the finest gold;
    they are sweeter than the purest honey.

¹¹ They give knowledge to me, your servant;
    I am rewarded for obeying them.
