Psalms

journey through Psalm 19

‭‭1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard.

4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; it rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

‭‭7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.

10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

‭‭12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.

13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, and I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
