Psalm 19 | Liturgical Calendar

1

The heavens declare the glory of God *

and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2

One day telleth another *

and one night certifieth another.

3

There is neither speech nor language *

but their voices are heard among them.

4

Their sound is gone out into all lands *

and their words into the ends of the world.

5

In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun *

which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.

6

It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again *

and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7

The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the soul *

the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple.

8

The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart *

the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.

9

The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth 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 honey-comb.

11

Moreover, by them is thy servant taught *

and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12

Who can tell how oft he offendeth *

O cleanse thou me from my secret faults.

13

Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me *

so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence.

14

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart *

be alway acceptable in thy sight,

15

O Lord *

my strength, and my redeemer.
