Psalms 19

The Works and the Word of God.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;

And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

2 Day to day pours forth speech,

And night to night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech, nor are there words;

Their voice is not heard.

4 Theirline has gone out through all the earth,

And their utterances to the end of the world.

In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;

It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens,

And its circuit to the other end of them;

And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the Lordisperfect, restoring the soul;

The testimony of the Lordis sure, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the Lordare right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lordis pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lordis clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the Lordare true; they are righteous altogether.

10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;

In keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discernhiserrors? Acquit me of hiddenfaults.

13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuoussins;

Let them not rule over me;

# Then I will beblameless,

And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

Be acceptable in Your sight,

O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
