- Chapter 19 -

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth ye worke of his hands.
2
Day vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.
3
There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.
4
Their line is gone forth through all the earth, and their words into the endes of the world: in them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne.
5
Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.
6
His going out is from the ende of the heauen, and his compasse is vnto the endes of ye same, and none is hid from the heate thereof.
7
The Lawe of the Lord is perfite, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the Lord is sure, and giueth wisedome vnto the simple.
8
The statutes of the Lord are right and reioyce the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giueth light vnto the eyes.
9
The feare of the Lord is cleane, and indureth for euer: the iudgements of the Lord are trueth: they are righteous altogether,
10
And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.
11
Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12
Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.
13
Keepe thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes: let them not reigne ouer me: so shall I be vpright, and made cleane from much wickednes.
14
Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
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,
5
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7
The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8
The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11
Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
12
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
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.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
