Psalms 19:1

The Law of the Lord Is Perfect

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 ^aThe heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above ^{▼▼Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8} proclaims his handiwork.

Proverbs 8:22-29

22 ^c“The Lord ^dpossessed ^{▼▼Or fathered; Septuagint created} me at the beginning of his work, ^{▼▼Hebrew way}
the first of his acts ^gof old.
23 Ages ago I was ^hset up,
at the first, ⁱbefore the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no ^jdepths I was ^kbrought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains ^lhad been shaped,
^mbefore the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he ⁿestablished the heavens, I was there;
when he drew ^oa circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he ^pmade firm the skies above,
when he established ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain} the fountains of the deep,
29 when he ^rassigned to the sea its ^slimit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out ^tthe foundations of the earth,
