Psalm 19
19
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3There is no speech nor language,
Where their voice is not heard.
4Their 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,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6His 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.
7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:
The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
And in keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13Keep 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.
14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight,
O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalm 19
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky displays what his hands have made.
2One day tells a story to the next.
One night shares knowledge with the next
3without talking,
without words,
without their voices being heard.
4 ⌞Yet,⌟ their sound has gone out into the entire world,
their message to the ends of the earth.
He has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun,
5which comes out of its chamber like a bridegroom.
Like a champion, it is eager to run its course.
6It rises from one end of the heavens.
It circles around to the other.
Nothing is hidden from its heat.
7The teachings of the Lord are perfect.
They renew the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is dependable.
It makes gullible people wise.
8The instructions of the Lord are correct.
They make the heart rejoice.
The command of the Lord is radiant.
It makes the eyes shine.
9The fear of the Lord is pure.
It endures forever.
The decisions of the Lord are true.
They are completely fair.
10They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.
11As your servant I am warned by them.
There is a great reward in following them.
12Who can notice every mistake?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13Keep me from sinning.
Do not let anyone gain control over me.
Then I will be blameless,
and I will be free from any great offense.
14May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart
be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my defender.
