Psalm 19 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Works and the Word of God.

Psa 19:1
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Psa 19:2
Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showeth knowledge.
Psa 19:3
There is no speech nor language;
Their voice is not heard.
Psa 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,
Psa 19:5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
Psa 19:6
His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
And his circuit unto the ends of it;
And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Psa 19:7
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul:
The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever:
The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
Psa 19:10
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
Psa 19:11
Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
In keeping them there is great reward.
Psa 19:12
Who can discern his errors?
Clear thou me from hidden faults.
Psa 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 clear from great transgression.
Psa 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in thy sight,
O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
