Psalm 19

Cæli enarrant

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God,*

and the firmament shows his handiwork.

² One day speaks to another,*

and one night gives knowledge to another.

³ There is neither speech nor language,*

and their voices are not heard;

⁴ But their sound has gone out into all lands*

and their words to the ends of the world.

⁵ In them he has set a tent for the sun,*

which comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoices like a strong man to run his course.

⁶ It goes forth from the uttermost part of the heavens, and runs about to the end of it again,*

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, and gives wisdom to the simple.

⁸ The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart;*

the commandment of the Lord is pure, and gives light to the eyes.

⁹ The fear of the Lord is clean, and endures for ever;*

the judgments 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, than the drippings from the honeycomb.

¹¹ Moreover, by them is your servant taught,*

and in keeping them there is great reward.

¹² Who can tell how often he offends?*

O cleanse me from my secret faults.

¹³ Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me;*

so shall I be undefiled, and innocent of great offense.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in your sight,*

O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
