The Book of Psalms, Chapter 19
|
| 1 |
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth
his handywork.
|
| 2 |
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
|
| 3 |
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
|
| 4 |
Their 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,
|
| 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
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
|
| 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, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
|
| 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.
