19 ‎(1) For the leader. A psalm of David.
‎(2) The heavens declare the glory of God,
the sky proclaims His handiwork. ‎(3) Day to day makes utterance,
night to night speaks out. ‎(4) There is no utterance,
there are no words,
whose sound goes unheard. ‎(5) Their voice carries throughout the earth,
their words to the end of the world.
He placed in them a tent for the sun, ‎(6) who is like a groom coming forth from the chamber,
like a hero, eager to run his course. ‎(7) His rising-place is at one end of heaven,
and his circuit reaches the other;
nothing escapes his heat.
‎(8) The teaching of the LORD is perfect,
renewing life;
the decrees of the LORD are enduring,
making the simple wise; ‎(9) The precepts of the LORD are just,
rejoicing the heart;
the instruction of the LORD is lucid,
making the eyes light up. ‎(10) The fear of the LORD is pure,
abiding forever;
the judgments of the LORD are true,
righteous altogether, ‎(11) more desirable than gold,
than much fine gold;
sweeter than honey,
than drippings of the comb. ‎(12) Your servant pays them heed;
in obeying them there is much reward. ‎(13) Who can be aware of errors?
Clear me of unperceived guilt, ‎(14) and from willful sins keep Your servant;
let them not dominate me;
then shall I be blameless
and clear of grave offense. ‎(15) May the words of my mouth
and the prayer of my heart
be acceptable to You,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
