Psalms 19:7

God's wordThe lawWisdomComfort

5 Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,

6 it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
