Justitiae Domini rectae [The justices of the LORD are right] (Psalm 19:8,10-11) – Alessandro Scarlatti

 

Psalm 19:8a,10b-11a [Latin]

⁸ The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

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 is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
