Psalms - Chapter 19

Chapter 18 | Psalms | Contents

1 | 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 | 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.
