Psalms 19

The Works and the Word of God.

1 Psalms 19:1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

2 Psalms 19:2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

3 Psalms 19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.

4 Psalms 19:4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

5 Psalms 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

6 Psalms 19:6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

8 Psalms 19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 Psalms 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.

10 Psalms 19:10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Psalms 19:11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.

12 Psalms 19:12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.

13 Psalms 19:13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

14 Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
