19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork. 19:2 Day after day it speaks out; night after night it reveals his greatness. 19:3 There is no actual speech or word, nor is its voice literally heard. 19:4 Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth; its words carry to the distant horizon. In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun. 19:5 Like a bridegroom it emerges from its chamber; like a strong man it enjoys running its course. 19:6 It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect and preserves one’s life. The rules set down by the Lord are reliable and impart wisdom to the inexperienced. 19:8 The Lord’s precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord’s commands are pure and give insight for life. 19:9 The commands to fear the Lord are right and endure forever. The judgments given by the Lord are trustworthy and absolutely just. 19:10 They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb. 19:11 Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there; those who obey them receive a rich reward. 19:12 Who can know all his errors? Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of. 19:13 Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless and innocent of blatant rebellion. 19:14 May my words and my thoughts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my sheltering rock and my redeemer.
19:14 For the music director, a psalm of David.
