Chapter 19

1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

2

Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.

3

There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.

4

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

6

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7

The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

8

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.

10

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

11

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.

12

Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.

13

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression.

14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
