Psalm 19:8-15

Complete Jewish Bible

⁸⁽⁷⁾The Torah of Adonai is perfect,
restoring the inner person.
The instruction of Adonai is sure,
making wise the thoughtless.
⁹⁽⁸⁾The precepts of Adonai are right,
rejoicing the heart.
The mitzvah of Adonai is pure,
enlightening the eyes.
¹⁰⁽⁹⁾The fear of Adonai is clean,
enduring forever.
The rulings of Adonai are true,
they are righteous altogether,
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾more desirable than gold,
than much fine gold,
also sweeter than honey
or drippings from the honeycomb.
¹²⁽¹¹⁾Through them your servant is warned;
in obeying them there is great reward.

¹³⁽¹²⁾Who can discern unintentional sins?
Cleanse me from hidden faults.
¹⁴⁽¹³⁾Also keep your servant from presumptuous sins,
so that they won’t control me.
Then I will be blameless
and free of great offense.

¹⁵⁽¹⁴⁾May the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart
be acceptable in your presence,
Adonai, my Rock and Redeemer.
