PSALMS CHAPTER 19

PSALMS CHAPTER 19

1     ś To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2     Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3     [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.
4     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,
5     Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6     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.
7     ś The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
8     The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
9     The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
10     More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11     Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward.
12     Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].
13     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.
14     Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
