←Prev   Psalms 19 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


19:1  For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
19:2  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
19:3  They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
19:4  Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
19:5  It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
19:6  It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
19:7  The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
19:8  The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
19:9  The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.
19:10  They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
19:11  By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
19:12  But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
19:13  Keep your servant also from wilful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
19:14  May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
