Psalms 19:8
Afrikaans DB 2006 (Die Boodskap)
So werk die Here se wet ook. Daar is geen foute in nie. Soos die son oor alles skyn, so speel die wet ’n rol in ons hele lewe. Dit bring nuwe krag in jou lewe. Jy kan altyd op die wet staatmaak. Dit is betroubaar, want dit leer mense wat nog nie ervaring het nie hoe om gelukkig te lewe. Die Here wil hê mense moet die regte dinge doen. Dan sal hulle vol blydskap wees.
