←Prev   Psalms 19 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


19:1  This is a song that David wrote for the music leader. The heavens show us how great God is. The sky above shows his good work.
19:2  Each day speaks about God, until the next day continues the story. Every night tells us how great God is.
19:3  They do not use words to speak with. Nobody hears their voice.
19:4  But their message goes round all the earth. All the world can understand what they say. God has made a home for the sun in the sky.
19:5  Each morning, the sun comes out, like a happy man who has just married. It comes out, like a strong man who wants to run a race.
19:6  The sun rises at one end of the heavens. It travels in a big circle to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
19:7  The law of the Lord is perfect. It makes us strong again. We can trust what the Lord teaches us. He helps ordinary people to be wise.
19:8  The Lord's rules are always right. If we obey them, they make us really happy. The Lord's commands are completely good. They show us how to live in a good way.
19:9  It is right for us to respect the Lord. That will always help us. The laws of the Lord are true. They are right and fair.
19:10  They are more valuable than gold, even the best gold. They are sweeter than the best honey.
19:11  Your laws warn us to do what is right. If we obey them, they are a great help to us.
19:12  Nobody realizes every time they do something wrong. Please forgive me for the sins that I do not know about.
19:13  Lord, stop me doing things that I know are wrong. Do not let those sins rule my life. Then I will not be guilty. I will not have turned against you in a bad way.
19:14  Lord, I want to make you happy. I want my words and my thoughts to please you. You are my strong Rock and you are my Redeemer.
