Chapter 19 |
| 1 | The heavens
declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. |
| 2 |
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
|
| 3 | There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
|
| 4 | Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end
of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, |
| 5 | Which is
as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run
a race. |
| 6 |
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. |
| 7 |
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD
is sure, making wise the simple. |
| 8 | The statutes 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 for ever: the
judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. |
| 10 | More to
be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than
honey and the honeycomb. |
|
11 | Moreover by them is thy servant
warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. |
| 12 | Who can
understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. |
| 13 | Keep
back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over
me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great
transgression. |
|
14 | Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. |
