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.
