Psalm 19 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

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; Their voice cannot be 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 his course.

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, restoring the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

⁸ The precepts 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 judgements 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: In keeping of them there is great reward.

¹² Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.

¹³ Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, And I shall be clear from great transgression.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
