THE BIBLE
AND YOU
Psalm 19:7-11 CSB
7
The instruction of the LORD is perfect,
renewing one’s life;
the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.
8
The precepts of the LORD are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the LORD is radiant,
making the eyes light up.
9
The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever;
the ordinances of the LORD are reliable
and altogether righteous.
They are more desirable than gold – than
10
an abundance of pure gold;
and sweeter than honey dripping from a
honeycomb.
11
In addition, your servant is
warned by them,
and in keeping them
there is an abundant reward.
