Psalms 19 ⓘ

19:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

19:2 Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.

19:3 There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

19:4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

19:5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

19:6 His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.

19:7 The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

19:8 The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

19:10 They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

19:11 Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.

19:12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.

19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
