Psalm 19:7-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 (A)The law of the Lord is [a](B)perfect, (C)restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is (D)sure, making (E)wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are (F)right, (G)rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is (H)pure, (I)enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are (J)true; they are (K)righteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than (L)gold, yes, than much fine gold;
(M)Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them (N)Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great (O)reward.

7 (A)What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? (B)May it never be! On the contrary, (C)I would not have come to know sin except [a]through the Law; for I would not have known about [b]coveting if the Law had not said, “(D)You shall not [c]covet.”
