For the end, a Psalm of David.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
proclaims the work of his hands.
19:2 Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.
19:3 There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not
heard.
19:4 Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the
ends of the world.
19:5 In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he come forth as a
bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his
course.
19:6 His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to
the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.
19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of
the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.
19:8 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the
judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.
19:10 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter
also than honey and the honey-comb.
19:11 For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is]
great reward.
19:12 Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge thou me from my
secret [sins].
19:13 And spare thy servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not
gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be
clear from great sin.
19:14 So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of
David.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth
his handywork.
19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth
as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto
the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony
of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of
the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward.
19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not
have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent
from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
