7 The Law of God most perfect is, Turns [sinful] souls from vanities: ⟨p. 25⟩God's testimony is most sure, And maketh [simple] sinners wise.
8 The Statutes of the Lord are right, And do rejoice the [upright] heart: The Lord's Commandments are pure, And light to [darkened] eyes impart.
8 The Statutes of the Lord are right, And do rejoyce the [upright] heart: The Lord's Commandements are pure, And light to [darkned] eyes impart.
9 The fear of God is pure and clean, And doth [in force] endure for ever. The judgments of the Lord are true, [Holy] and righteous altogether.
10 Much more desirable than gold, Than [much and] finest gold they are; Than honey and the honey-comb, Sweeter to [holy] souls by far.
