Leader: 7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul.
ALL: The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
Leader: 8 The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart.
ALL: The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living.
Leader: 9 The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair.
ALL: 10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.
Leader: 11 They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.
ALL: 12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Leader: 13 Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.
ALL: 14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
