Psalm 19
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
|
|
|
|
The skies display his craftsmanship.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Day after day they continue to speak;
|
|
|
|
night after night they make him known.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. They speak without a sound or word;
|
|
their voice is never heard.
|
|
|
|
4. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
|
|
|
|
and their words to all the world.
|
|
|
|
God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
|
|
|
|
It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. The sun rises at one end of the heavens
|
|
|
|
and follows its course to the other end.
|
|
|
|
Nothing can hide from its heat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. The instructions of the LORD are perfect,
|
|
|
|
reviving the soul.
|
|
The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy,
|
|
|
|
making wise the simple.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. The commandments of the LORD are right,
|
|
|
|
bringing joy to the heart.
|
|
The commands of the LORD are clear,
|
|
|
|
giving insight for living.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Reverence for the LORD is pure,
|
|
|
|
lasting forever.
|
|
The laws of the LORD are true;
|
|
|
|
each one is fair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. They are more desirable than gold,
|
|
|
|
even the finest gold.
|
|
|
|
They are sweeter than honey,
|
|
|
|
even honey dripping from the comb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. They are a warning to your servant,
|
|
|
|
a great reward for those who obey them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
|
|
|
|
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
|
|
|
|
Don't let them control me.
|
|
|
|
Then I will be free of guilt
|
|
|
|
and innocent of great sin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. May the words of my mouth
|
|
|
|
and the meditation of my heart
|
|
be pleasing to you,
|
|
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
