Psalm 19, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
 

2

Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
 

3

There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
 

4

Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
 

5

which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
 

6

It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
 

7

The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
 

8

The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
 

9

The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
 

10

They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
 

11

By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
 

12

Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
 

13

Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
 

14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
