Psalm 19 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Works and the Word of God.

Psa 19:1

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

The heavens tell of the glory of God;

And their expanse declares the work of His hands.

Psa 19:2

Day to day pours forth speech,

And night to night reveals knowledge.

Psa 19:3

There is no speech, nor are there words;

Their voice is not heard.

Psa 19:4

Their [fn]line has gone out into all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

Psa 19:5

Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber;

It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.

Psa 19:6

Its rising is from [fn]one end of the heavens,

And its circuit to the [fn]other end of them;

And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Psa 19:7

The Law of the LORD is [fn]perfect, restoring the soul;

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

Psa 19:8

The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Psa 19:9

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.

Psa 19:10

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much pure gold;

Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

Psa 19:11

Moreover, Your servant is warned by them;

In keeping them there is great reward.

Psa 19:12

Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.

Psa 19:13

Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins;

Let them not rule over me;

Then I will be innocent,

And I will be blameless of great wrongdoing.

Psa 19:14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

Be acceptable in Your sight,

LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
