⁸ the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
    enlightening the eyes;

⁹ the fear of the Lord is pure,
    enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the Lord are true
    and righteous altogether.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold,
    even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey,
    and drippings of the honeycomb.
