Psalm 19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹ The heavens tell about the glory of God.
The expanse of the sky proclaims the work of his hands.
² Day after day they pour out speech.
Night after night they display knowledge.
³ They do not speak. They say no words.
Their voice is not heard.^[a]
4 Their voice^[b] goes out into all the earth,
and their word reaches the end of the world.

⁷ The law^[c] of the Lord is perfect.
It revives the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy.
It gives wisdom to the inexperienced.^[d]
8 The precepts of the Lord are right.
They give joy to the heart.
The commandment of the Lord is bright.
It gives light to the eyes.
⁹ The fear of the Lord is pure.
It stands forever.
The just decrees of the Lord are truth.
They are altogether righteous.
¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold,
even better than much pure gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the honeycomb.

¹¹ Yes, by them your servant is warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
¹² Who can recognize his own errors?
Declare me innocent of hidden sins.
¹³ Restrain your servant also from deliberate sins.
Do not let them rule over me.
Then I will be blameless.
Then I will be innocent of great rebellion.
¹⁴ May the speech from my mouth
and the thoughts in my heart be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
