Psalm 19

NASB

Psalm 19

The Works and the Word of God.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

The ^(A)heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their ^(B)expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

^{Tools
2}

Day to ^(C)day pours forth speech,
And ^(D)night to night reveals knowledge.

^{Tools
3}

There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.

^{Tools
4}

Their ^(a)^(E)line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has ^(F)placed a tent for the sun,

^{Tools
5}

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

^{Tools
6}

Its ^(G)rising is from ^(b)one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the ^(c)other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

^{Tools
7}

^(H)The law of the Lord is ^(d)^(I)perfect, ^(J)restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is ^(K)sure, making ^(L)wise the simple.

^{Tools
8}

The precepts of the Lord are ^(M)right, ^(N)rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is ^(O)pure, ^(P)enlightening the eyes.

^{Tools
9}

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are ^(Q)true; they are ^(R)righteous altogether.

^{Tools
10}

They are more desirable than ^(S)gold, yes, than much fine gold;
^(T)Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

^{Tools
11}

Moreover, by them ^(U)Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great ^(V)reward.

^{Tools
12}

Who can ^(W)discern his errors? ^(X)Acquit me of ^(Y)hidden faults.

^{Tools
13}

Also keep back Your servant ^(Z)from presumptuous sins;
Let them not ^(AA)rule over me;
Then I will be ^(e)^(AB)blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of ^(AC)great transgression.

^{Tools
14}

Let the words of my mouth and ^(AD)the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, ^(AE)my rock and my ^(AF)Redeemer.
