Psalms 19:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

7 The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
