Affections » Should be set upon the commandments of God
The Lord's precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord's commands are pure and give insight for life. The commands to fear the Lord are right and endure forever. The judgments given by the Lord are trustworthy and absolutely just. They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.
(Mem) O how I love your law! All day long I meditate on it.
Your words are sweeter in my mouth than honey!
I keep your rules; I love them greatly.
