Psalms 18:9-15

⁹The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.

¹¹To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

¹²For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is great reward.

¹³Who will understand his transgressions? purge thou me from my secret sins.

¹⁴And spare thy 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.

¹⁵So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
