19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which
is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His 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.
19:7 The law of the Lord
is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the
Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 The statutes of the Lord
are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord
is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the Lord
is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord
are true
and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired
are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them
there is great reward.
19:12 Who can understand
his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults.
19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous
sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
