          DASV: Psalm 19    

For the music director, a psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
     the sky proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day utters speech,
     night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor are there words,
     their voice is not heard,
4 yet their voice is gone out through all the earth,
     their words to the end of the world.
     In them he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming out of his wedding chamber.
      It rejoices like a strong man to run a race.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens,
     and proceeds to the other end of it;
           there is nothing hid from its heat.

7 The precepts of the LORD are right,
     reviving the soul.
           The statutes of the LORD are reliable,
     making the simple wise.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
          bringing joy to the heart.
      The commandment of the LORD is clear,
          enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
           enduring forever.
      The commands of the LORD are true,
           and absolutely righteous.
10 They are more to be desired than gold,
          even much fine gold.
      They are sweeter than honey,
          even the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned;
     in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his own errors?
     Clear me from hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant from deliberate sins,
          let them not have control over me.
      Then I will be blameless,
          and innocent of great transgression.

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