Psalms 18:7-14

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

⁸The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.

⁹The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgements of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.

¹⁰To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

¹¹For your servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is great reward.

¹²Who will understand his transgressions? purge you me from my secret sins.

¹³And spare your servant the attack of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.

¹⁴So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before you, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
