19:1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

19:2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

19:3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

19:4 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,

19:5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

19:6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.

19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

19:9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.

19:10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

19:11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

19:12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

19:13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
