Psalm 19
New International Version

Psalm 19^[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹The heavens^(A)declare^(B)the glory of God;^(C)
    the skies^(D)proclaim the work of his hands.^(E)
²Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.^(F)
³They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
⁴Yet their voice^[b]goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.^(G)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent^(H)for the sun.^(I)
⁵    It is like a bridegroom^(J)coming out of his chamber,^(K)
    like a champion^(L)rejoicing to run his course.
⁶It rises at one end of the heavens^(M)
    and makes its circuit to the other;^(N)
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

⁷The law of theLord^(O)is perfect,^(P)
    refreshing the soul.^(Q)
The statutes of theLordare trustworthy,^(R)
    making wise the simple.^(S)
⁸The precepts of theLordare right,^(T)
    giving joy^(U)to the heart.
The commands of theLordare radiant,
    giving light to the eyes.^(V)
⁹The fear of theLord^(W)is pure,
    enduring forever.
The decrees of theLordare firm,
    and all of them are righteous.^(X)

¹⁰They are more precious than gold,^(Y)
    than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,^(Z)
    than honey from the honeycomb.^(AA)
¹¹By them your servant is warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.
¹²But who can discern their own errors?
    Forgive my hidden faults.^(AB)
¹³Keep your servant also from willful sins;^(AC)
    may they not rule over me.^(AD)
Then I will be blameless,^(AE)
    innocent of great transgression.
