Psalm 19 Works and the Word of God / Perfect Revelation of the Lord
Psalm 19:1-14 Works and the Word of God / Perfect Revelation of the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Psalm 19:1-6
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament (expanse of heaven) shows His handiwork (the work of His hands).
2
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5
Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6
Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Psalm 19:7-11
7
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting (restoring) 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 forever;
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 Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Psalm 19:12-13
12
Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13
Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great (much) transgression.
Psalm 19:14
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength (rock) and my Redeemer.
