Psalms 19

¹The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

²Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

³There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.^{+19.3 where…: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heard}

⁴Their 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,^{+19.4 line: or, rule, or, direction}

⁵Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

⁶His 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.

⁷The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.^{+19.7 law: or, doctrine+19.7 converting: or, restoring}

⁸The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.^{+19.9 true: Heb. truth}

¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.^{+19.10 the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}

¹¹Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

¹²Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

¹³Keep 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.^{+19.13 the great: or, much}

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.^{+19.14 strength: Heb. rock}
