Psalms 19:1-10

¹For the leader. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God's glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.

²Day tells it to day, night reveals it to night,

³without speaking, without words; without the sound of voices.

⁴But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky,

⁵it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.

⁶From one end of the heavens it rises, and around it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat.

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.

⁸The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.

⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord's judgements are true and right altogether.

¹⁰More precious are they than gold — than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.
