Psalms 19:7-11 GNB
The law of the LORD ( יהוה ) is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the LORD ( יהוה ) are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it (including young people). (8) The laws of the LORD ( יהוה ) are right, and those who obey them are happy. The commands of the LORD ( יהוה ) are just and give understanding to the mind. (9) Reverence for the LORD ( יהוה ) is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the LORD ( יהוה ) are just; they are always fair. (10) They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey. (11) They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.
Psalms 19:7-11 CEV
The Law of the LORD ( יהוה ) is perfect; it gives us new life. His teachings last forever, and they give wisdom to ordinary people. (8) The LORD's ( יהוה ) instruction is right; it makes our hearts glad. His commands shine brightly, and they give us light. (9) Worshiping the LORD ( יהוה ) is sacred; he will always be worshiped. All of his decisions are correct and fair. (10) They are worth more than the finest gold and are sweeter than honey from a honeycomb. (11) By your teachings, Lord, I am warned; by obeying them, I am greatly rewarded.
