Psalms 19
The Works and the Word of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
1 The aheavens tell of the glory of God;
And their bexpanse declares the work of His hands.
2 Day to cday pours forth speech,
And dnight to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their ▼
▼Another reading is sound
fline has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has gplaced a tent for the sun,
5 Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.
6 Its hrising is from ▼
▼Lit the end
one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the ▼
▼Lit the ends
other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 kThe Law of the Lord is ▼
▼I.e., blameless
mperfect, nrestoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is osure, making pwise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are qright, rrejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is spure, tenlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are utrue; they are vrighteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than wgold, yes, than much pure gold;
xSweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, yYour servant is warned by them;
In keeping them there is great zreward.
12 Who can aadiscern his errors? abAcquit me of achidden faults.
13 Also keep Your servant back adfrom presumptuous sins;
Let them not aerule over me;
Then I will be afinnocent,
And I will be blameless of aggreat wrongdoing.
14 May the words of my mouth and ahthe meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, aimy rock and my ajRedeemer.
