Psalms 19

Psalm 19

To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.

1¶ The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows the work of his hands.

2 One day provides a word for the next day, and one night declares wisdom unto the next night.

3 There 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 he has set a tabernacle for the sun,

5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

6His going forth is from the end of the heavens, 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.

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 rights of the Lord are true, they are all just.

10More to be desired are they than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11Moreover by them is thy slave warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.

12Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13Keep back thy slave also from pride and arrogance; let them not have dominion over me; then I shall be perfect, and I shall be innocent of the great rebellion.

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

The Law of the Lord Is Perfect

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 # Ps. 50:6; [Rom. 1:19, 20] The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above#19:1 Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8 proclaims his handiwork.

2Day to day pours out speech,

and night to night reveals knowledge.

3There is no speech, nor are there words,

whose voice is not heard.

4 # Cited Rom. 10:18 Their #[Isa. 28:10] voice#19:4 Or 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 #[Eccles. 1:5]the sun,

5 # [Judg. 5:31] which comes out like #Joel 2:16a bridegroom leaving his chamber,

and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.

6Its 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 # Rom. 7:12 The law of the Lord is perfect,#19:7 Or blameless

# Ps. 23:3; [2 Tim. 3:16] reviving the soul;

# Ex. 25:16; See Ps. 78:5 the testimony of the Lord is #Ps. 111:7 sure,

# [Matt. 11:25; 1 Cor. 1:27; 2 Tim. 3:15] making wise #Ps. 119:130; Prov. 1:4the simple;

8 # Ps. 103:18; 111:7; 119:4, 27 the precepts of the Lord are right,

rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is #[Ps. 12:6] pure,

# See Ps. 13:3 enlightening the eyes;

9the fear of the Lord is clean,

enduring forever;

the rules#19:9 Or just decrees of the Lord are #Ps. 119:142, 151, 160true,

and righteous altogether.

10More to be desired are they than #Ps. 119:72, 127; Prov. 8:10 gold,

even much #Job 28:17; Prov. 8:19 fine gold;

# Ps. 119:103 sweeter also than honey

and drippings of #Prov. 16:24the honeycomb.

11Moreover, by them is your servant warned;

# [Prov. 29:18] in keeping them there is great reward.

12 # Ps. 40:12; [1 Cor. 4:4] Who can discern his errors?

# [Lev. 4:2; Num. 15:27] Declare me innocent from #Ps. 90:8; See Job 34:32hidden faults.

13 # Gen. 20:6; 1 Sam. 25:33, 34, 39 Keep back your servant also from #[Num. 15:30] presumptuous sins;

let them not have #Ps. 119:133; Rom. 6:12, 14dominion over me!

Then I shall be blameless,

and innocent of great transgression.

14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight,

O Lord, my #See Ps. 18:2 rock and my #See Job 19:25redeemer.
