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.
