Psalm 19The Witness of Creation and Scripture
|
|
|
|
1. The heavens declare the glory of God,
|
|
and the expanse proclaims the work of his hands.
|
|
|
|
2. Day after day they pour out speech;
|
|
night after night they communicate knowledge.
|
|
|
|
3. There is no speech; there are no words;
|
|
their voice is not heard.
|
|
|
|
4. Their message has gone out to the whole earth,
|
|
and their words to the ends of the world.
|
|
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun.
|
|
|
|
5. It is like a bridegroom coming from his home;
|
|
it rejoices like an athlete running a course.
|
|
|
|
6. It rises from one end of the heavens
|
|
and circles to their other end;
|
|
nothing is hidden from its heat.
|
|
|
|
7. The instruction of the
|
|
Lord is perfect,
|
|
renewing one's life;
|
|
the testimony of the
|
|
Lord is trustworthy,
|
|
making the inexperienced wise.
|
|
|
|
8. The precepts of the
|
|
Lord are right,
|
|
making the heart glad;
|
|
the command of the
|
|
Lord is radiant,
|
|
making the eyes light up.
|
|
|
|
9. The fear of the
|
|
Lord is pure,
|
|
enduring forever;
|
|
the ordinances of the
|
|
Lord are reliable
|
|
and altogether righteous.
|
|
|
|
10. They are more desirable than gold--
|
|
than an abundance of pure gold;
|
|
and sweeter than honey
|
|
dripping from a honeycomb.
|
|
|
|
11. In addition, your servant is warned by them,
|
|
and in keeping them there is an abundant reward.
|
|
|
|
12. Who perceives his unintentional sins?
|
|
Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
|
|
|
|
13. Moreover, keep your servant from willful sins;
|
|
do not let them rule me.
|
|
|
|
Then I will be blameless
|
|
and cleansed from blatant rebellion.
|
|
|
|
14. May the words of my mouth
|
|
and the meditation of my heart
|
|
be acceptable to you,
|
|
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
