Psalm 19

God’s Glory in Creation

1 How clearly the sky reveals God’s glory!

How plainly it shows what he has done!

2 Each day announces it to the following day;

each night repeats it to the next.

3 No speech or words are used,

no sound is heard;

4 yet their messagegoes out to all the world

and is heard to the ends of the earth.

God made a home in the sky for the sun;

5 it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom,

like an athlete eager to run a race.

6 It starts at one end of the sky

and goes across to the other.

Nothing can hide from its heat.

The Law of the Lord

7 The law of the Lord is perfect;

it gives new strength.

The commands of the Lord are trustworthy,

giving wisdom to those who lack it.

8 The laws of the Lord are right,

and those who obey them are happy.

The commands of the Lord are just

and give understanding to the mind.

9 Reverence for the Lord is good;

it will continue forever.

The judgments of the Lord are just;

they are always fair.

10 They are more desirable than the finest gold;

they are sweeter than the purest honey.

11 They give knowledge to me, your servant;

I am rewarded for obeying them.

12 None of us can see our own errors;

deliver me, Lord, from hidden faults!

13 Keep me safe, also, from willful sins;

don’t let them rule over me.

Then I shall be perfect

and free from the evil of sin.

14 May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you,

O Lord, my refuge and my redeemer!
