The Law of the LORD Is Perfect
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 19
|
|
1. The heavens declare the glory of God,
|
|
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
|
|
|
|
2. Day to day pours out speech,
|
|
and night to night reveals knowledge.
|
|
|
|
3. There is no speech, nor are there words,
|
|
whose voice is not heard.
|
|
|
|
4. Their voice goes out through all the earth,
|
|
and their words to the end of the world.
|
|
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
|
|
|
|
5. which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
|
|
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
|
|
|
|
6. Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
|
|
and its circuit to the end of them,
|
|
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
|
|
|
|
7. The law of the LORD is perfect,
|
|
reviving the soul;
|
|
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
|
|
making wise the simple;
|
|
|
|
8. the precepts 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 rules of the LORD are true,
|
|
and righteous altogether.
|
|
|
|
10. More to be desired are they than gold,
|
|
even much fine gold;
|
|
sweeter also than honey
|
|
and drippings of the honeycomb.
|
|
|
|
11. Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
|
|
in keeping them there is great reward.
|
|
|
|
12. Who can discern his errors?
|
|
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
|
|
|
|
13. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
|
|
let them not have dominion over me!
|
|
Then I shall be blameless,
|
|
and 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 rock and my redeemer.
