Psalms of David 19
19
PSALM XIX.
C. M.
1The heav’ns declare thy glory, Lord,
Which that alone can fill;
The firmament and stars express
Their great Creator’s skill.
2The dawn of each returning day
Fresh beams of knowledge brings;
And from the dark returns of night
Divine instruction springs.
3Their pow’rful language to no realm
Or region is confin’d;
’Tis nature’s voice, and understood
Alike by all mankind.
4Their doctrine does its sacred sense
Through earth’s extent display;
Whose bright contents the circling sun
Does round the world convey.
5No bridegroom on his nuptial day
Has such a cheerful face;
No giant does like him rejoice
To run his glorious race.
6From east to west, from west to east,
His restless course he goes;
And his progress cheerful light
And vital warmth bestows.
The Second Part.
7God’s perfect law converts the soul,
Reclaims from false desires;
With sacred wisdom his sure word
The ignorant inspires.
8The statutes of the Lord are just,
And bring sincere delight;
His pure commands, in search of truth,
Assist the feeblest sight.
9His perfect worship here is fix’d,
On sure foundations laid;
His equal laws are in the scales
Of truth and justice weigh’d.
10Of more esteem than golden mines,
Or gold refin’d with skill;
More sweet than honey, or the drops
That from the comb distil.
11My trusty counsellors they are,
And friendly warnings give;
Divine rewards attend on those
Who by thy precepts live.
12But what frail man observes how oft
He does from virtue fall?
O cleanse me from my secret faults,
Thou God that know’st them all!
13Let no presumptuous sin, O Lord,
Dominion have o’er me;
That, by thy grace preserv’d, I may
The great transgression flee.
14So shall my pray’r and praises be
With thy acceptance blest;
And I secure on thy defence,
My strength and saviour, rest.
