Psalms 19 · Clearspring

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

¹The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.+ ²Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.+ ³There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.+ ⁴Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,+ ⁵which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.+ ⁶His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.+ ⁷The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.+ ⁸The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.+ ⁹The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.+ ¹⁰They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.+ ¹¹Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.+ ¹²Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.+ ¹³Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.+ ¹⁴Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.+
