1 (19-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (19-2) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;
2 (19-3) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;
3 (19-4) There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.
4 (19-5) Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,
5 (19-6) Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
6 (19-7) His 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.
7 (19-8) The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 (19-9) The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 (19-10) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;
10 (19-11) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 (19-12) Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 (19-13) Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.
13 (19-14) Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
14 (19-15) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
