Psalm 19
The heavens declare the glory of God,and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor are there words
whose voice is not heard.
Their measuring line goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
which comes all like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens.
and its circuit to the end of them
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the LORD so perfect,
riviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
the percepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandsments of the LORD is pure,
enlightenting the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altoghter.
More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
Keep back your servant also from
presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord my rock and my Redeemer.
