<< Psalm 19 >> New American Standard Bible © The Works and the Word of God. For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 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.
