Psalm 19:7-21:2
English Standard Version
7 (A)The law of the Lord is perfect,[a]
(B)reviving the soul;
(C)the testimony of the Lord is (D)sure,
(E)making wise (F)the simple;
8 (G)the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is (H)pure,
(I)enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules[b] of the Lord are (J)true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than (K)gold,
even much (L)fine gold;
(M)sweeter also than honey
and drippings of (N)the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
(O)in keeping them there is great reward.
12 (P)Who can discern his errors?
(Q)Declare me innocent from (R)hidden faults.
13 (S)Keep back your servant also from (T)presumptuous sins;
let them not have (U)dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my (V)rock and my (W)redeemer.
Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
20 May the Lord (X)answer you in the day of trouble!
May (Y)the name of the God of Jacob (Z)protect you!
2 May he send you help from (AA)the sanctuary
and give you support from (AB)Zion!
3 May he (AC)remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4 May he (AD)grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans!
5 May we shout for joy over (AE)your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our (AF)banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with (AG)the saving might of his right hand.
7 Some trust in (AH)chariots and some in (AI)horses,
(AJ)but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.
9 O Lord, save (AK)the king!
May he answer us when we call.
The King Rejoices in the Lord's Strength
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
21 O Lord, in your (AL)strength the king rejoices,
and in your (AM)salvation how greatly he exults!
2 You have (AN)given him his heart's desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
