←Prev   Psalms 19 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


19:1  Heaven is declaring God’s glory; the sky is proclaiming his handiwork.
19:2  One day gushes the news to the next, and one night informs another what needs to be known.
19:3  Of course, there’s no speech, no words— their voices can’t be heard—
19:4  but their sound extends throughout the world; their words reach the ends of the earth. God has made a tent in heaven for the sun.
19:5  The sun is like a groom coming out of his honeymoon suite; like a warrior, it thrills at running its course.
19:6  It rises in one end of the sky; its circuit is complete at the other. Nothing escapes its heat.
19:7  The Lord’s Instruction is perfect, reviving one’s very being. The Lord’s laws are faithful, making naive people wise.
19:8  The Lord’s regulations are right, gladdening the heart. The Lord’s commands are pure, giving light to the eyes.
19:9  Honoring the Lord is correct, lasting forever. The Lord’s judgments are true. All of these are righteous!
19:10  They are more desirable than gold— than tons of pure gold! They are sweeter than honey— even dripping off the honeycomb!
19:11  No doubt about it: your servant is enlightened by them; there is great reward in keeping them.
19:12  But can anyone know what they’ve accidentally done wrong? Clear me of any unknown sin
19:13  and save your servant from willful sins. Don’t let them rule me. Then I’ll be completely blameless; I’ll be innocent of great wrongdoing.
19:14  Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
