making the eyes light up. h

9The fear of the Lord is pure,

enduring forever; i

the ordinances of the Lord are reliable

and altogether righteous. j

10They are more desirable than gold—

than an abundance of pure gold; k

and sweeter than honey,

which comes from the honeycomb. l

11In addition, Your servant is warned by them;

there is great reward in keeping them. m
