Psalms 19
1THE heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaimeth the work of His hands.
2Day to day pronounceth a decree; and night to night proclaimeth knowledge.
3Are they not speeches and are they not words, of which is not their utterance heard?
4To every land their sound is gone forth: and their doctrines to the limits of the world. In the sun He placed His tabernacle.
5And he is like a bridegroom coming forth from his chamber. He will rejoice as a giant to run his course.
6His going forth is from the summit of heaven; and his course is to the summit thereof, and from his heat none can be hid.
7The law of the Lord is perfect, it restoreth souls: The testimony of the Lord is faithful, it maketh infants wise.
8The statutes of the Lord are right, they rejoice the heart. The commandment of the Lord is clear, it enlighteneth the eyes.
9The fear of the Lord is pure, it endureth forever. The judgments of the Lord are true, they are justified for being so.
10They are more to be desired than gold, or many precious stones; and sweeter than honey or the honeycomb.
11These indeed Thy servant keepeth; for keeping them there is a great reward.
12Who can understand his errors?
13Cleanse thou me from those of mine which are hid; and for those of others, spare Thy servant. If they gain not a dominion over me: then shall I be spotless, and clean from great transgression.
14And the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart, will be continually acceptable in Thy sight—O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
