Psalms 19 / 150
- 1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
- 2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
- 3There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
- 4Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
- 5which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
- 6It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
- 7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
- 8The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
- 9The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
- 10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
- 11By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
- 12Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
- 13Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
- 14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
