1To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. 2\19:1\The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands. 3\19:2\Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge. 4\19:3\There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound. 5\19:4\Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun, 6\19:5\Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way. 7\19:6\His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat. 8\19:7\The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish. 9\19:8\The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes. 10\19:9\The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness. 11\19:10\More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey. 12\19:11\By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward. 13\19:12\Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil. 14\19:13\Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin. 15\19:14\Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.
