Psalms 19

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth ye worke of his hands.

2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.

Day vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.

3 There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.

4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Their line is gone forth through all the earth, and their words into the endes of the world: in them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne.

5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:

Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.

6 His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.

His going out is from the ende of the heauen, and his compasse is vnto the endes of ye same, and none is hid from the heate thereof.

7 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.

The Lawe of the Lord is perfite, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the Lord is sure, and giueth wisedome vnto the simple.

8 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

The statutes of the Lord are right and reioyce the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giueth light vnto the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

The feare of the Lord is cleane, and indureth for euer: the iudgements of the Lord are trueth: they are righteous altogether,

10 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.

11 For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.

Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:

Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.

13 And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.

Keepe thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes: let them not reigne ouer me: so shall I be vpright, and made cleane from much wickednes.

14 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.

Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
