Psalms 19 — WEBC

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

19Verse 1The heavens declare the glory of God.The expanse shows his handiwork.^{Verse 2}Day after day they pour out speech,and night after night they display knowledge.^{Verse 3}There is no speech nor languagewhere their voice is not heard.^{Verse 4}Their voice has gone out through all the earth,their words to the end of the world.In them he has set a tent for the sun,^{Verse 5}which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,
like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.^{Verse 6}His going out is from the end of the heavens,his circuit to its ends.
There is nothing hidden from its heat.^{Verse 7}The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.^{Verse 8}The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.^{Verse 9}The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.^{Verse 10}They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold,sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.^{Verse 11}Moreover your servant is warned by them.In keeping them there is great reward.^{Verse 12}Who can discern his errors?Forgive me from hidden errors.^{Verse 13}Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.Let them not have dominion over me.Then I will be upright.I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.^{Verse 14}Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartbe acceptable in your sight,
LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
