19 The
heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day
unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There
is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 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, 5 Which
is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong
man to run a race. 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. 7 The
law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the
LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8
The statutes 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 for ever: the judgments of the LORD
are true and righteous altogether. 10 More
to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also
than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover
by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who
can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 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. 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.
