Psalm 19:7-11

Contemporary English Version

^7 (A) The Law of the Lord is perfect;
    it gives us new life.
His teachings last forever,
and they give wisdom
    to ordinary people.
⁸ The Lord's instruction is right;
    it makes our hearts glad.
His commands shine brightly,
    and they give us light.

⁹ Worshiping the Lord is sacred;
    he will always be worshiped.
All his decisions
    are correct and fair.
¹⁰ They are worth more
    than the finest gold
and are sweeter than honey
    from a honeycomb.

¹¹ By your teachings, Lord,
    I am warned;
by obeying them,
    I am greatly rewarded.
