Psalms - Chapter 19 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. A psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
  • 2. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
  • 3. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
  • 4. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
  • 5. which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
  • 6. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
  • 7. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
  • 8. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
  • 9. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
  • 10. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
  • 11. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
  • 12. Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
  • 13. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
  • 14. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
