# Chapter 19
|
|
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
|
|
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
|
|
2 Day unto day utters speech,
|
|
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
|
|
3 There is no speech nor language
|
|
Where their voice is not heard.
|
|
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
|
|
And their words to the end of the world.
|
|
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
|
|
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
|
|
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
|
|
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
|
|
And its circuit to the other end;
|
|
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
|
|
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
|
|
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
|
|
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
|
|
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
|
|
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
|
|
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
|
|
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
|
|
Yea, than much fine gold;
|
|
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
|
|
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
|
|
And in keeping them there is great reward.
|
|
12 Who can understand his errors?
|
|
Cleanse me from secret faults.
|
|
13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
|
|
Let them not have dominion over me.
|
|
Then I shall be blameless,
|
|
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
|
|
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
|
|
Be acceptable in Your sight,
|
|
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. |
