Psalm 19:7-14

English Standard Version

⁷^(A)The law of the Lord is perfect,^[a]
    ^(B)reviving the soul;
^(C)the testimony of the Lord is ^(D)sure,
    ^(E)making wise ^(F)the simple;
⁸^(G)the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is ^(H)pure,
    ^(I)enlightening the eyes;
⁹the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules^[b] of the Lord are ^(J)true,
    and righteous altogether.
¹⁰More to be desired are they than ^(K)gold,
    even much ^(L)fine gold;
^(M)sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of ^(N)the honeycomb.
¹¹Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    ^(O)in keeping them there is great reward.

¹²^(P)Who can discern his errors?
    ^(Q)Declare me innocent from ^(R)hidden faults.
¹³^(S)Keep back your servant also from ^(T)presumptuous sins;
    let them not have ^(U)dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
    and innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my ^(V)rock and my ^(W)redeemer.
