 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

More to be desired are they than gold and many precious stones; and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

For Thy servant keepeth them; and in keeping them there is great reward.

Who understandeth his sins? From my secret ones cleanse me, and from strangers spare Thy servant.

If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from grievous sin.

And the sayings of my mouth and the meditation of my heart in Thy sight shall be ever pleasing.

O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
