Psalms

Chapter 19

1 The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.

2 Day tells it to day, night reveals it to night,

3 without speaking, without words; without the sound of voices.

4 But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky,

5 it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.

6 From one end of the heavens it rises, and around it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat. In Praise of the Law

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.

8 The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.

9 Respect for the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord ’s judgments are true and right altogether.

10 More precious are they than gold – than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.

11 By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward.

12 Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not.

13 Keep your servant from wilful sins – from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offense.

14 May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord , my rock and redeemer.
