Psalms 19

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

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 unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

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

3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.

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

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

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 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

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

6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

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] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

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 statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, 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] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.

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 [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also 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 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward.

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

12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].

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

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins; ] let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

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 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, 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.
