Psalms 19

1The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3There is no speech nor language;

Their voice cannot be heard.

4Their line is gone out through all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.

In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

6His 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.

7The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul:

The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

8The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:

The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:

The judgements of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.

10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11Moreover by them is thy servant warned:

In keeping of them there is great reward.

12Who can discern his errors?

Clear thou me from hidden faults .

13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins ;

Let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect,

And I shall be clear from great transgression.

14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight,

O LORD , my rock, and my redeemer.
