Psalm 19: The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God Poem by King David of Israel

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.

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,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

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.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting 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 for ever:
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 is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.

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.

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.

(KJV)
