God's law is perfect, and converts the soul in sin that lies: God's testimony is most sure, and makes the simple wise.
The entrance of thy words gives light, makes wise who simple are.
His handy-works are truth and right; all his commands are sure:
My soul he doth restore again; and me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, ev'n for his own name's sake.
Thy word is to my feet a lamp, and to my path a light.
Thy testimonies ev'ry one in faithfulness excel; And holiness for ever, Lord, thine house becometh well.
I of thy testimonies have above all things made choice, To be my heritage for aye; for they my heart rejoice.
The word that cometh from thy mouth is better unto me Than many thousands and great sums of gold and silver be.
As for God, perfect is his way: the Lord his word is try'd; He is a buckler to all those who do in him confide.
My comfort, and my heart's delight, thy testimonies be; And they, in all my doubts and fears, are counsellors to me.
More joy thy testimonies' way than riches all me gave.
As for thy testimonies all, of old this have I try'd, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.
By what means shall a young man learn his way to purify? If he according to thy word thereto attentive be.
