Psalms

19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
   and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
   and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
   whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
   and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5     which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
   and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
   and its circuit to the end of them,
   and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
   reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
   making wise the simple;
8 the precepts 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 forever;
the rules[d] of the Lord are true,
   and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
   even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
   and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
   in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors?
   Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
   let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
   and innocent of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
   be acceptable in your sight,
   O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
