19 - David And The High Spirit

Chapter 19

The heavens are telling the glory of God

And the firmament proclaims his handiwork

Day to day pours forth speech

And night to night declares knowledge

There is no speech nor are there words

Their voice is not heard

Yet their voice goes out through all the earth

And their words to the end of the world

In them he has set a tent for the sun

Which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber

And like a strong man runs its course with joy

Its rising is from the end of the heavens

And its circuit to the end of them

And there is nothing hid from its heat

The law of the Lord is perfect

Reviving the soul

The testimony of the Lord is pure

Making wise the simple

The precepts of the Lord are right

Rejoicing the heart

The commandment of the Lord is pure

Enlightening the eyes

The fear of the Lord is clean

Enduring for ever

The ordinances of the Lord are true

And righteous altogether

More to be desired are they than gold

Even much fine gold

Sweeter also than honey

And drippings of the honeycomb

Moreover by them is thy servant warned

In keeping them there is great reward

But who can discern his errors

Clear thou me from hidden faults

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins

And let them not have dominion over me

Then I shall be blameless

And innocent of great transgression

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

Be acceptable in thy sight

O Lord my rock and my redeemer
