Refrain: Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.

1. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul;
the Lord's rule is to be trusted, the simple find wisdom.

2. The fear of the Lord is holy, abiding forever;
the decrees of the Lord are true, all of them just.

3. The precepts of the Lord are right, they gladden the heart,
the command of the Lord is clear, giving light to the eye.

4. They are worth more than gold, than the finest gold,
sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
