Psalms 19
1 For the choir director. A psalm of David.
2 The heavens tell of the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of his hands.
3 One day passes the message to another day, and one night shares knowledge with another night.
4 There is no speech, there are no words, and their voice is not heard.
5 Their line goes out through all the earth, and their words reach the end of the world. In them he has pitched a tent for the sun.
6 The sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a warrior rejoicing to run his course.
7 It comes out from one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other, and nothing is hidden from its heat.
8 The LORD’s law is whole and restores life; the LORD’s testimony is trustworthy and gives wisdom to the inexperienced.
9 The LORD’s precepts are right and gladden the heart; the LORD’s command is pure and gives light to the eyes.
10 The fear of the LORD is clean and lasts forever; the LORD’s judgments are true, all of them are righteous.
11 They are more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; they are sweeter than honey dripping from the comb.
12 Your servant is also warned by them; there is great reward in keeping them.
13 Who can discern their own errors? Cleanse me from hidden sins.
14 Keep your servant, too, from the arrogant; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be whole and cleansed from great transgression.
15 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
