Psalms 19

   |   

The Works and the Word of God.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

1 The (C1)heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their (C2)expanse declares the work of His hands.

2 Day to (C1)day pours forth speech,
And (C2)night to night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.

4 Their (F1)(C1)line has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has (C2)placed a tent for the sun,

5 Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.

6 Its (C1)rising is from (F1)one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the (F2)other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 (C1)The Law of the LORD is (F1)(C2)perfect, (C3)restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is (C4)sure, making (C5)wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are (C1)right, (C2)rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is (C3)pure, (C4)enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are (C1)true; they are (C2)righteous altogether.

10 They are more desirable than (C1)gold, yes, than much pure gold;
(C2)Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, (C1)Your servant is warned by them;
In keeping them there is great (C2)reward.

12 Who can (C1)discern his errors? (C2)Acquit me of (C3)hidden faults.

13 Also keep Your servant back (C1)from presumptuous sins;
Let them not (C2)rule over me;
Then I will be (C3)innocent,
And I will be blameless of (C4)great wrongdoing.

14 May the words of my mouth and (C1)the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
LORD, (C2)my rock and my (C3)Redeemer.
