Chapter 19

1


 

  To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.
The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.  

 

 

--

3


 

  There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,  

 

 

--

5


 

  Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.  

 

 

--

6


 

  His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.  

 

 

--

9


 

  The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.  

 

 

--

10


 

  More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.  

 

 

--

11


 

  By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.  

 

 

--
