- Chapter 19 -

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.(a)
4
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,(b)
5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.(c) (d)
8
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.(e)
10
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.(f)
11
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.(g)
14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord , my strength, and my redeemer.(h)
