LIFE AND WORK OF CHURCH

 

PSALM 19:7-14   (TNIV)

L:  The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing

          the soul.  The statutes of the LORD are

     trustworthy, making wise the simple.

C: The precepts of the LORD are right, giving

          joy to the heart.  The commands of the

     LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

L: The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring

          forever.  The ordinances of the LORD are

     sure, and all of them are righteous.

C: They are more precious than gold, than

          much pure gold; they are sweeter than    

     honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

L: By them your servant is warned; in keeping

          them there is great reward.

C: But who can discern their own errors?

          Forgive my hidden faults.

L: Keep your servant also from willful sins; may

          they not rule over me.  Then I will be

     blameless, innocent of great transgression.

C; May these words of my mouth and this

          meditation of my heart be pleasing in

     your sight, LORD, my Rock and my

          Redeemer.
