Psalm 19:7-11 (ESV)
The law of the Lord is perfect,    reviving the soul;the testimony of the Lord is sure,    making wise the simple;the precepts of the Lord are right,    rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is pure,    enlightening the eyes;the fear of the Lord is clean,    enduring forever;the rules of the Lord are true,    and righteous altogether.More to be desired are they than gold,    even much fine gold;sweeter also than honey    and drippings of the honeycomb.Moreover, by them is your servant warned;    in keeping them there is great reward.
