| Chapter 19 |
1 |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of his hands.
|
2 |
Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth knowledge.
|
3 |
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
|
4 |
Their line hath 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,
|
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 to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from his heat.
|
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, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
|
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.
