Psalm 19
The Works and Word of
God |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm
of David. |
|
1 |
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,
|
where their voice is not
heard. |
|
|
4 |
Their line is gone out through all the
earth,
|
and their words to the end of the world. Rom.
10.18
|
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 a
race. |
|
|
6 |
His going forth is from the end of
the heaven,
|
and his circuit unto the ends of it: |
and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
|
|
|
7 |
The law of the LORD is perfect,
|
converting the soul: |
the testimony of the LORD is sure, |
making wise the
simple. |
|
|
8 |
The statutes of the LORD are right,
|
rejoicing the heart: |
the commandment of the LORD is pure, |
enlightening the
eyes. |
|
|
9 |
The fear of the LORD is clean,
|
enduring for ever: |
the judgments of the LORD 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 honeycomb.
|
|
|
11 |
Moreover by them is thy servant
warned:
|
and in keeping of them there is great
reward. |
|
|
12 |
Who can understand his errors?
|
Cleanse thou me from secret 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 innocent from the great
transgression.
|
|
|
14 |
Let the words of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart,
|
be acceptable in thy sight, |
O LORD, my strength, and my
redeemer. |
