The heavens are telling the glory of God; they are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.
2 Day and night they keep on telling about God.
3-4 Without a sound or word, silent in the skies, their message reaches out to all the world.
The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it 5 and moves out across the skies as radiant as a bridegroom going to his wedding, or as joyous as an athlete looking forward to a race!
6 The sun crosses the heavens from end to end, and nothing can
hide from its heat.
7-8 God’s laws are perfect. They protect us, make us wise, and give us joy and light.
9 God’s laws are pure, eternal, just.
10 They are more desirable than gold. They are sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb.
11 For they warn us away from harm and give success to those who obey them.
12 But how can I ever know what sins are lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
13 And keep me from deliberate wrongs; help me to stop doing
them. Only then can I be free of guilt and innocent of some great crime.
14 May my spoken words and unspoken thoughts be pleasing even to you, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm 19
