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;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
 
 
 
Matthew Henry Said...
 
"God's Law is perfect.  It is His tool to convert the soul.  When a sinner is confronted with God's holy Law, his conscience affirms its truth.  The Law gives understanding to the unregenerate mind.  It reveals God's absolutes and therefore produces the fear of God, leading to repentance.  It is of great worth.  It is sweet to the converted soul.  Its function is toward sinners of the wrath to come and lead them to shelter in the Savior.  "The law of the Lord... is of use to convert the soul, to bring us back to ourselves, to our God, to our duty, for it shows us our sinfulness and misery in our departures from God and the indispensable necessity of our return to Him.  "Those who would know sin must get the knowledge of the Law in its strictness, extent, and spiritual nature."
