Psalm 19:7-14 AMPC
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. [8] The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes. [9] The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. [10] More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb.
