7 The law of the Lord is perfectand preserves one’s life.The rules set down by the Lord are reliableand impart wisdom to the inexperienced.
8 The Lord’s precepts are fairand make one joyful.The Lord’s commands are pureand give insight for life.
9 The commands to fear the Lord are rightand endure forever.The judgments given by the Lord are trustworthyand absolutely just.
10 They are of greater value than gold,than even a great amount of pure gold;they bring greater delight than honey,than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.
11 Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there;those who obey them receive a rich reward.
12 Who can know all his errors?Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of.
13 Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins;do not allow such sins to control me.Then I will be blameless,and innocent of blatant rebellion.
