Psalm 19 - The Corner Room

and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight, O Lord,

my rock and my redeemer.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

2 Day to day pours out speech,

and night to night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech, nor are there words,

whose voice is not heard.

4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,

and their words to the end of the world.

In them he has set a tent for the sun,

5 which comes out like a bridegroom

leaving his chamber,

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 there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 (w)The law of the Lord is perfect,

(m) reviving the soul;

(w) the testimony of the Lord is sure,

(m) making wise the simple;

8 (w) the precepts of the Lord are right,

(m) rejoicing the heart;

(w) the commandment of the Lord is pure,

(m) enlightening the eyes;

9 (w) the fear of the Lord is clean,

(m) enduring forever;

the rules of the Lord are true,

and righteous altogether.

(14 Let the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight, O Lord,

my rock and my redeemer.)

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 Who can discern his errors?

Declare me innocent from hidden faults.

13 Keep back your servant also

from presumptuous sins;

let them not 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

in your sight, O Lord,

my rock (14 Let the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable

in your sight, O Lord,

my rock and my redeemer.)

(My rock and my redeemer.)

(My rock and my redeemer.)
