The law of the Lord is perfect

D6042 NS281
1
The law of the Lord is perfect,
Converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure,
Making wise the simple.
 
More to be desired are they than gold.
Yea, than much fine gold:
Sweeter also than honey
And the honeycomb.
2
The statutes of the Lord are right,
Rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of the Lord is pure,
Enlightening the eyes.
3
The fear of the Lord is clean,
Enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true
And righteous altogether.
4
Let the words of my mouth
And the meditation of my heart,
Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord,
My strength, and my redeemer.
 
Moreover by them is Thy servant warned:
Is Thy servant warned:
And in keeping of them there is
Great reward.
16

Here's a new verse, which can be used as the first verse, taken from Ps 19:1-4:

The heavens declare the glory of God, proclaiming his works.

Day after day they pour forth speech; displaying knowledge by night.

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out to the ends of the earth.

I knew this song a long time ago except for the Verse 4 with that ending part. Wish you had a way to hear it so I can see how it fits.

The words are derived from Ps. 19.
