Psalms 19:7-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. The instruction of the Lord is perfect,renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,making the inexperienced wise.

8. The precepts of the Lord are right,making the heart glad; the command of the Lord is radiant,making the eyes light up.

9. The fear of the Lord is pure,enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliableand altogether righteous.

10. They are more desirable than gold —than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey,which comes from the honeycomb.

11. In addition, Your servant is warned by them;there is great reward in keeping them.

12. Who perceives his unintentional sins?Cleanse me from my hidden faults.

13. Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be innocentand cleansed from blatant rebellion.

14. May the words of my mouthand the meditation of my heartbe acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
