1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 19

1 The creatures shew God's glory. 7 The Word his grace. 12 David prayeth for grace.

 19:1 ¶ [[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.]] The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.

 19:3 There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.

 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

 19:7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

 19:8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

 19:9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, [and] righteous altogether.

 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.

 19:12 Who can discern [his] errors? Clear thou me from hidden [faults].

 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression.

 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
