[1] To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. [2] The heavens are telling the
glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. [3] Day to day
pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. [4] There is no
speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; [5] yet 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, [6] which comes forth like a bridegroom
leaving his chamber, and like a strong man runs its course with joy. [7]
Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of
them; and there is nothing hid from its heat. [8] The law of the LORD is
perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise
the simple; [9] the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; [10] the fear
of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are
true, and righteous altogether. [11] More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the
honeycomb. [12] Moreover by them is thy servant warned; in keeping them
there is great reward. [13] But who can discern his errors? Clear thou me
from hidden faults. [14] Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent
of great transgression. [ (Psalms 19:15) Let the words of my mouth and the
meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock and my
redeemer. ]
