Psalms 19:5-14

⁵it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.

⁶From one end of the heavens it rises, and around it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat.

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.

⁸The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.

⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord's judgements are true and right altogether.

¹⁰More precious are they than gold — than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.

¹¹By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward.

¹²Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not.

¹³Keep your servant from wilful sins — from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offence.

¹⁴May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and redeemer.
