Psalms - Chapter 19 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
  • 2. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
  • 3. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.
  • 4. Their measuring line goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
  • 5. which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
  • 6. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
  • 7. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
  • 8. the precepts 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 forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
  • 10. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
  • 11. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
  • 12. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
  • 13. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
  • 14. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
