Psalmen 19

1. ¹For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
2. ²The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;
3. ³Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;
4. ⁴There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.
5. ⁵Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,
6. ⁶Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
7. ⁷His 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.
8. ⁸The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
9. ⁹The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
10. ¹⁰The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;
11. ¹¹More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
12. ¹²Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward.
13. ¹³Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.
14. ¹⁴Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
15. ¹⁵Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
