Psalms



Psalm 19

   To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
   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.
