Notes: THE - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

KNOW-NOTHING - [F], PO > NDS, FOs up, move hand side-to-side slightly at midforehead.

CAUSE - (2h)[S] are held at the chest as if holding a rope and move forward while opening to (2h)[5]. For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - cause.

REALLY-WANT - WANT but shaken back and forth to show intensity.

BOW-DOWN-TO - (2h)[B], POs away, FOs up, are held like the final position of GIVE-UP, then bend these arms twice while bowing at waist once. Note: This may seem a strange translation of "bless", but theologically I don't see how we can bless God. The Hebrew this concept comes from is "baruch" and is related to "birkayim (knees)", in other words "bend the knee [to God]".

PURE - like NICE but the DH moves backwards slightly on the palm, pauses, then moves forward rapidly to show intensity.

HONEY - [1] curls under chin to an [X] as if wiping off the chin and then flicks straight down as if the honey were dripping.

BEEHIVE - DH [F] touches the cheek with its joined fingers to represent an insect biting; then changes to a [Bb] and brushes it aside + (2h)[5:] outlines the shape of a beehive. For a QuickTime movie of the first sign, see ASL browser - bee.

Lyrics (Psalm 19: 8, 9, 10, 11):

Response: Lord you have the words of everlasting life.

The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul;
The decree of the Lord is trustworthy,
giving wisdom to the simple. Response

The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
The command of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eye. Response

The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever;
The ordinances of the Lord are true,
all of them just. Response

They are more precious than gold,
than a heap of purest gold;
Sweeter also than syrup
or honey from the comb. Response
