Psalm 19
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
- The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
- Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
- There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
- Their line is gone out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
- which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
- His going forth is from the end of the heaven,
and his circuit unto the ends of it:
and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
- The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
- The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
- The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
- More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
- Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great reward.
- Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.
- Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
- Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD,
my strength, and my redeemer.
