Psalm 19, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

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.
