Psalm of the Day – August 18, 2019 (Psalm 19)

Psalm 19

1   The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 
2   Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. 
3   There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; 
4   yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

     In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun, 
5   which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy. 
6   Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hidden from its heat.

7   The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the LORD are sure,  making wise the simple; 
8   the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eyes; 
9   the fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 
10  More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.

11  Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 
12   But who can detect their errors? Clear me from hidden faults. 
13  Keep back your servant also from the insolent; do not let them have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

14  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
