Psalm 19
or Coverdale
Cli enarrant

¹The heavens declare the glory of God, *
and the firmament shows his handiwork.
²One day tells its tale to another, *
and one night imparts knowledge to another.
³Although they have no words or language, *
and their voices are not heard,
⁴Their sound has gone out into all lands, *
and their message to the ends of the world.
⁵In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *
it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;
it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
⁶It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens
and runs about to the end of it again; *
nothing is hidden from its burning heat.
⁷The law of the Lord is perfect
and revives the soul; *
the testimony of the Lord is sure
and gives wisdom to the innocent.
⁸The statutes of the Lord are just
and rejoice the heart; *
the commandment of the Lord is clear
and gives light to the eyes.
⁹The fear of the Lord is clean
and endures for ever; *
the judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold,
more than much fine gold, *
sweeter far than honey,
than honey in the comb.
¹¹By them also is your servant enlightened, *
and in keeping them there is great reward.
¹²Who can tell how often he offends? *
cleanse me from my secret faults.
¹³Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;
let them not get dominion over me; *
then shall I be whole and sound,
and innocent of a great offense.
¹⁴Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
heart be acceptable in your sight, *
O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
