Psalm 19
|
|
| 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his
handywork. |
"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,
|
(19:4-6) The sun moves around the earth.
|
| 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. |
Is the law of God perfect?
|
| 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. |

"The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever."
Should we fear God?
|
| 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.
