God's law is perfect and gives life,
Revives the weary soul.
God's testimonies all are sure,
Wisdom for all to hold.
The statutes of the Lord
Are just and give the heart delight;
God's precepts are direct
And pure and give the eyes clear sight.
The fear of God is always clean,
Enduring as the sun;
The judgments of the Lord
Are true and righteous, every one.
And even more to be
Desired than gold, the finest gold,
And sweeter than the honeycomb,
The words God spoke of old.
You servant finds enlightenment
By means of them, O Lord;
And in the keeping of Your law,
There is a great reward.
But who can tell how often
They offend unknowingly?
From all my secret faults,
O Lord, I ask You to cleanse me.
