Psalm 19

Revised Geneva Translation

19 The heavens declare the Glory of God, and the firmament shows the work of His Hands.

² Day unto day utters the same, and night unto night teaches knowledge.

³ There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

⁴ Their line has gone forth through all the earth; and their words into the ends of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the Sun,

⁵ which comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoices like a mighty man to run his race.

⁶ His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit is to the ends of the same, and nothing is hidden from the heat thereof.

⁷ The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the LORD is sure and gives wisdom to the simple.

⁸ The Statutes of the LORD are right and rejoice the heart. The Commandment of the LORD is pure and gives light to the eyes.

⁹ The fear of the LORD is clean and endures forever. The judgments of the LORD are truth. They are righteous altogether,

¹⁰ and more to be desired than gold—yea, than much fine gold—sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

¹¹ Moreover, by them your servant is made circumspect, and in the keeping of them there is great reward.

¹² Who can understand his faults? Cleanse me from secret faults.

¹³ Keep your servant from presumptuous sins, also. Do not let them reign over me. So, shall I be upright and made clean from much wickedness.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD my strength, and my redeemer. To him who excels. A Psalm of David.
