New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
9 Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair.
9
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.
10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.
10
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
11 They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.
11
By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
12
But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.
13
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
14
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
