# 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. |
