19:1  For the choir director. A psalm by David. The heavens tell about the glory of God. The expanse of the sky proclaims the work of his hands.
19:2  Day after day they pour out speech. Night after night they display knowledge.
19:3  They do not speak. They say no words. Their voice is not heard.
19:4  Their voice goes out into all the earth, and their word reaches the end of the world. God has pitched a tent for the sun in the heavens.
19:5  It comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy. It celebrates like a champion who has run his race.
19:6  It sets out from one end of the heavens. It runs until it reaches the other end. There is nowhere to hide from its heat.
19:7  The law of the Lord is perfect. It revives the soul. The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy. It gives wisdom to the inexperienced.
19:8  The precepts of the Lord are right. They give joy to the heart. The commandment of the Lord is bright. It gives light to the eyes.
19:9  The fear of the Lord is pure. It stands forever. The just decrees of the Lord are truth. They are altogether righteous.
19:10  They are more desirable than gold, even better than much pure gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the honeycomb.
19:11  Yes, by them your servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
19:12  Who can recognize his own errors? Declare me innocent of hidden sins.
19:13  Restrain your servant also from deliberate sins. Do not let them rule over me. Then I will be blameless. Then I will be innocent of great rebellion.
19:14  May the speech from my mouth and the thoughts in my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
