Psalm 19:7-11

Father help and direct my life that it brings You glory and honor. Make my thoughts, words and deeds have You written on them that others may know You and see Your power to change and mold those who put everything into Your hands.



The law is the Torah, which means “instruction” or “direction.” This passage presents six words for the law of God—law, testimony, statutes, commandment, fear, and judgments; six evaluations of the law—perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, and true; and six results—converting the soul, making wise the simple, rejoicing the heart, enlightening the eyes, enduring forever, and righteous altogether. The value of the Scripture cannot be compared with any other desirable thing—even gold. It provides the key to wisdom, joy, and most importantly, eternal life.


Psalm 19:7-11

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;


The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;


8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;


The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;


9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;


The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold,

Yea, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,


And in keeping them there is great reward.
