Geertgen tot St.-Jans (1490)

PSALM 19b

The Law of the Lord is perfect

Reviving the soul, the soul

The Ways of the Lord can be trusted

Making wise the simple, the humble

-

The Precepts of the Lord, they are right

Giving Joy unto the heart

The Commands of the Lord are radiant

Giving Light to the eyes, to my eyes

-

The Fear of God is pure forever

The Word of God is sure and right

- -

They are more precious, even more than gold

Sweeter than the honey from the comb

(4x)

- -

By them, your servant is warned

To keep them is great reward

Who can discern His errors? 

Forgive all my hidden sins

And keep his servant from willful sins

May they not rule over me, o Lord

Then I’ll be blameless 

And innocent of sin

May the words of my mouth 

And the thoughts of my heart

Be pleasing in your sight, o Lord

My Rock, my Redeemer

My Redeemer...
