Psalms 19 — AAB

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

19Verse 1The heavens declare the glory of God;the firmament proclaims the work of His hands.^{Verse 2}Day after day they pour forth speech;night after night they reveal knowledge.^{Verse 3}Without speech or language,without a sound to be heard,^{+Verse 4}their voice⁺has gone out into all the earth,their words to the ends of the world.⁺
In the heavens He has pitcheda tent for the sun.^{Verse 5}Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber,like a champion rejoicing to run his course,^{Verse 6}it rises at one end of the heavensand runs its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.^{Verse 7}The Law of the LORD is perfect,reviving the soul;the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy,making wise the simple.^{Verse 8}The precepts of the LORD are right,bringing joy to the heart;the commandments of the LORD are radiant,giving light to the eyes.^{Verse 9}The fear of the LORD is pure,enduring forever;the judgments of the LORD are true,being altogether righteous.^{Verse 10}They are more precious than gold,than much pure gold;they are sweeter than honey,than honey from the comb.^{Verse 11}By them indeed Your servant is warned;in keeping them is great reward.^{Verse 12}Who can discern his own errors?Cleanse me from my hidden faults.^{Verse 13}Keep Your servant also from willful sins;may they not rule over me.Then I will be blamelessand cleansed of great transgression.^{Verse 14}May the words of my mouthand the meditation of my heartbe pleasing in Your sight,O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
