8 The laws of the Lord are right,and those who obey them are happy.The commands of the Lord are justand give understanding to the mind.
9 Reverence for the Lord is good;it will continue forever.The judgments of the Lord are just;they are always fair.
10 They are more desirable than the finest gold;they are sweeter than the purest honey.
11 They give knowledge to me, your servant;I am rewarded for obeying them.
12 None of us can see our own errors;deliver me, Lord, from hidden faults!
13 Keep me safe, also, from willful sins;don't let them rule over me.Then I shall be perfectand free from the evil of sin.
14 May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you,O Lord, my refuge and my redeemer!
