PSALM 18

 

 

Response:
You have the message of eternal life, O Lord.

Verse 1:
The law of the Lord is perfect,
it revives the soul.
The rule of the Lord is to be trusted,
it gives wisdom to the simple.

Verse 2:
The precepts of the Lord are right,
they gladden the heart.
The command of the Lord is clear,
it gives light to the eyes.

Verse 3:
The fear of the Lord is holy,
abiding for ever.
The decrees of the Lord are truth
and all of them just.

Verse 4:
They are more to be desired than gold,
than the purest of gold
and sweeter are they than honey,
then honey from the comb.
