Verses On Sunday.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

I love the words of David in Psalm 19, also as one to sing about, such delicious words to keep rereading, such a nice feel, please have a read, thank you, Sylvia Frances Chan

The heavens declare the glory of God
the skies proclaim the work of his hands
day after day
they pour forth speech

night after night
they reveal knowledge

they have no speech,
they use no words
no sound is heard from them

yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world

in the heavens
God has pitched a tent for the sun

it is like a bridegroom coming
out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing
to run his course

it rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other
nothing is deprived of its warmth

the law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul

the statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple

the precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart

the commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes

the fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever

the decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous

they are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb

by them your servant is warned
in keeping them there is great reward

but who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults

keep your servant also from willful sins
may they not rule over me
then I will be blameless,
innocent of great transgression

may these words of my mouth
and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight, Lord,
my Rock and my Redeemer....

your servant,
humbly
Sylvie
