PSALM 19 THE LAW OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
8 the precepts 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 rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. – Psalm 19:7-14

A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
There are many laws in the world, but none stands forever
Only the law of the Lord is true and righteous altogether
When you live by the commandments of the Lord
You will never be overcome by this corrupt world
God’s word leads us to righteousness and light
The world system, on the other hands, bring us death
Serve the Lord your God so that you will desire to obey
When you fear the Lord, you will never be swayed
Let the words that come out of our mouths be acceptable to God
He is the only one who can keep us from evil and all forms of harm
The rules that keep us whole and altogether is found in his truth
There is no other set of laws that will keep us intact and full.
