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