PSALM 19


The Revelation of God in Creation And in the Law

			1  The heavens declare the glory of
			   God;
			   And the firmament shows
			   His handiwork.
			2  Day unto day utters speech,
			   And night unto night reveals
			   Knowledge.
			3  There is no speech nor language
			   Where their voice is not heard.
			4  Their line has gone out through
			   all the earth,
			   And their words to the end of 
			   The world.
			
			   In them He has set a tabernacle
			   For the sun,
			5  Which is like a bridegroom
			   coming out of his chamber,
			   and rejoices like a strong man
			   to run its race.
			6  Its rising is from one end of
			   heaven,
			   And its circuit to the other end;
			   And there is nothing hidden
			   From its heat.
			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 forever,
			   The judgment of the LORD are 
			   true and righteous altogether.
			10 More to be desired are they than gold,
			   Sweeter also than honey and
			   The honeycomb.
			11 Moreover by them Your servant
			   is warned,
			   And in keeping them there is 
			   Great reward.
			
			12 Who can understand his errors?
			   Cleanse me from secret faults.
			13 Keep back Your servant also 
			   from presumptuous sins;
			   Let them not have dominion
			   Over me.
			   Then I shall be blameless,
			   And I shall be innocent of
			   Great transgression.
			
			14 Let the words of my mouth and
			   the meditation of my heart
			   Be acceptable in Your sight,
			   O LORD, my strength and my
			   Redeemer.
