Psalms 19

PSALM 19
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1The heav'ns God's glory do declare,
the skies his hand-works preach:
2Day utters speech to day, and night
to night doth knowledge teach.
3There is no speech nor tongue to which
their voice doth not extend:
4Their line is gone through all the earth,
their words to the world's end.
In them he set the sun a tent;
5Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes
From's chamber, as a strong man doth
to run his race rejoice.
6From heav'n's end is his going forth,
circling to th' end again;
And there is nothing from his heat
that hidden doth remain.
7God's law is perfect, and converts
the soul in sin that lies:
God's testimony is most sure,
and makes the simple wise.
8The statutes of the Lord are right,
and do rejoice the heart:
The Lord's command is pure, and doth
light to the eyes impart.
9Unspotted is the fear of God,
and doth endure for ever:
The judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
to be desired are:
Than honey, honey from the comb
that droppeth, sweeter far.
11Moreover, they thy servant warn
how he his life should frame:
A great reward provided is
for them that keep the same.
12Who can his errors understand?
O cleanse thou me within
13From secret faults. Thy servant keep
from all presumptuous sin:
And do not suffer them to have
dominion over me:
Then, righteous and innocent,
I from much sin shall be.
14The words which from my mouth proceed,
the thoughts sent from my heart,
Accept, O Lord, for thou my strength
and my Redeemer art.

Psalms 19

PSALM 19
1 To victory, the psalm of David. Heavens tell out the glory of God; and the firmament telleth the works of his hands.
2The day telleth out to the day a word; and the night showeth know-ing to the night.
3No languages be, neither words; of which the voices of them be not heard.
4The sound of them went out into all earth; and the words of them into the ends of the world. In the sun he hath set his tabernacle;
5and he as a spouse coming forth of his chamber. He fully joyed, as a giant, to run his way;
6his going out was from [the] high-est heaven. And his going again was to the highest thereof; and none there is that hideth himself from his heat.
7The law of the Lord is without wem, and converteth souls; the wit-nessing of the Lord is faithful, and giveth wisdom to little, either meek, children.
8The rightfulnesses of the Lord be rightful, gladdening hearts; the com-mandment of the Lord is clear, en-lightening eyes.
9The holy dread of the Lord dwelleth into the world of world; the dooms of the Lord be true, justified into themselves.
10Desirable more than gold, and a stone much precious; and sweeter than honey and honeycomb.
11Forsooth thy servant keepeth those [or them]; much yielding is in those dooms to be kept.
12Who understandeth trespasses? make thou me clean from my privy sins;
13and of alien sins spare thy servant. If those [or they] have not lordship of me, then I shall be undefouled of alien sins, or without wem; and I shall be cleansed of the most sin.
14And the speeches of my mouth shall be such, that they please; and the thinking of mine heart is ever[more] in thy sight. Lord, mine helper; and mine again-buyer.
