Psalms 19
19
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament shows His handiwork.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Day unto day utters speech,
and night unto night declares knowledge.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 There is no speech and there are no words;
their voice is not heard.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them has He set a tent for the sun,
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
it rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Its going forth is from one end of the heavens,
and its circuit extends to the other end,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 the statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 More to be desired are they than gold,
yes, than much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Moreover by them is Your servant warned,
and by keeping them comes great reward.
12Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then I will be upright
and innocent from great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in Your 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.
