Psalm 19. Caeli enarrant.

From the Book of Divine Worship - The Psalter or Psalms of David - Traditional - The Fourth Day - Morning Prayer.
  1. THE heavens declare the glory of God; *
    and the firmament showeth his handy-work.
  2. One day telleth another; *
    and one night certifieth another.
  3. There is neither speech nor language; *
    but their voices are heard among them.
  4. Their sound is gone out into all lands; *
    and their words into the ends of the world.
  5. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun; *
    which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.
  6. It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; *
    and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
  7. The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the soul; *
    the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple.
  8. The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart; *
    the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.
  9. The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth 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 taught; *
    and in keeping of them there is great reward.
  12. Who can tell how oft he offendeth? *
    O cleanse thou me from my secret faults.
  13. Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me; *
    so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence.
  14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be alway acceptable in thy sight, *
    O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
