19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens
declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of
his hands.
19:2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth
knowledge.
19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is
not heard.
19:4 Their line hath gone out through all the earth, and their
words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle
for the sun,
19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and]
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his
circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from his
heat.
19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yes, than much
fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
19:11 Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping
of them [there is] great reward.
19:12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from
secret [faults].
19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let
them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I
shall be innocent from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
