Psalms 19

19
Psalm 19
This is a song that David wrote for the music leader.
God teaches us about himself
1The heavens show us how great God is.
The sky above shows his good work.
2Each day speaks about God,
until the next day continues the story.
Every night tells us how great God is.
3They do not use words to speak with.
Nobody hears their voice.
4But their message goes round all the earth.
All the world can understand what they say.
God has made a home for the sun in the sky.
5Each morning, the sun comes out,
like a happy man who has just married.
It comes out,
like a strong man who wants to run a race.
6The sun rises at one end of the heavens.
It travels in a big circle to the other end.
Nothing can hide from its heat. #19:6 Verses 1-6: The heavens show us how great God is.
7The law of the Lord is perfect.
It makes us strong again.
We can trust what the Lord teaches us.
He helps ordinary people to be wise.
8The Lord's rules are always right.
If we obey them, they make us really happy.
The Lord's commands are completely good.
They show us how to live in a good way.
9It is right for us to respect the Lord.
That will always help us.
The laws of the Lord are true.
They are right and fair.
10They are more valuable than gold,
even the best gold.
They are sweeter than the best honey.
11Your laws warn us to do what is right.
If we obey them, they are a great help to us. #19:11 Verses 7-11: God teaches us about himself in the Bible.
12Nobody realizes every time they do something wrong.
Please forgive me for the sins that I do not know about.
13 Lord, stop me doing things that I know are wrong.
Do not let those sins rule my life.
Then I will not be guilty.
I will not have turned against you in a bad way.
14 Lord, I want to make you happy.
I want my words and my thoughts to please you.
You are my strong Rock
and you are my Redeemer. #19:14 Verses 12-14 tell us how we should pray to God.
