PSALM 19

God’s Glory in Creation and the Law

Psalm 19:1 The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Psalm 19:2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.

Psalm 19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;

Psalm 19:4 yet their voice k goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

Psalm 19:5 which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strong man runs its course with joy.

Psalm 19:6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

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

Psalm 19:9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.

Psalm 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

Psalm 19:11 Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm 19:12 But who can discern his errors? Clear me from hidden faults.

Psalm 19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

Psalm 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.
