New Strength

Psalm 19:7-14 GNT

The law of the LORD is perfect;

it gives new strength.

The commands of the LORD are trustworthy,

giving wisdom to those who lack it.
The laws of the LORD are right,

and those who obey them are happy.

The commands of the LORD are just

and give understanding to the mind.
Reverence for the LORD is good;

it will continue forever.

The judgments of the LORD are just;

they are always fair.
They are more desirable than the finest gold;

they are sweeter than the purest honey.
They give knowledge to me, your servant;

I am rewarded for obeying them.
None of us can see our own errors;

deliver me, LORD, from hidden faults!
Keep me safe, also, from willful sins;

don't let them rule over me.

Then I shall be perfect

and free from the evil of sin.
May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you,

O LORD, my refuge and my redeemer!
