Psalms 19

¹How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done!

²Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next.

³No speech or words are used, no sound is heard;

⁴yet their message goes out to all the world and is heard to the ends of the earth. God made a home in the sky for the sun;

⁵it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race.

⁶It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other. Nothing can hide from its heat.

⁷The law of the LORD is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the LORD are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it.

⁸The 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.

⁹Reverence for the LORD is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the LORD are just; they are always fair.

¹⁰They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey.

¹¹They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.

¹²None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, LORD, from hidden faults!

¹³Keep 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.

¹⁴May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you, O LORD, my refuge and my redeemer!
