Psalm 19

 ¹ The heavens declare the glory of God,
       and the skies announce what his hands have made.
 ² Day after day they tell the story;
       night after night they tell it again.
 ³ They have no speech or words;
       they have no voice to be heard.
 ⁴ But their message goes out through all the world;
       their words go everywhere on earth.
    The sky is like a home for the sun.
 ⁵     The sun comes out like a bridegroom from his bedroom.
       It rejoices like an athlete eager to run a race.
 ⁶ The sun rises at one end of the sky
       and follows its path to the other end.
       Nothing hides from its heat.

 ⁷ The teachings of the Lord are perfect;
       they give new strength.
    The rules of the Lord can be trusted;
       they make plain people wise.
 ⁸ The orders of the Lord are right;
       they make people happy.
    The commands of the Lord are pure;
       they light up the way.
 ⁹ Respect for the Lord is good;
       it will last forever.
    The judgments of the Lord are true;
       they are completely right.
 ¹⁰ They are worth more than gold,
       even the purest gold.
    They are sweeter than honey,
       even the finest honey.
 ¹¹ By them your servant is warned.
       Keeping them brings great reward.

 ¹² People cannot see their own mistakes.
       Forgive me for my secret sins.
 ¹³ Keep me from the sins of pride;
       don't let them rule me.
    Then I can be pure
       and innocent of the greatest of sins.

 ¹⁴ I hope my words and thoughts please you.
       Lord, you are my Rock, the one who saves me.  (Psalm 19, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
