How long has it been since you read these verses with a fresh perspective? These few verses, so common, have retained much of their beauty, but, I fear, have lost much of their impact and meaning. We have become accustomed to them (at least it has been so in my life). But, O their richness! Read them as if you have never read them before and as if you really believe what they have to say.
Psalm 19:7-11
The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The Testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
The Statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The Commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The Judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The Testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
The Statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The Commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The Judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Now take up the Word. Take up and read. Take in and internalize and do. Let it dwell in you...richly.
