Psalm 19 Caeli enarrant.

THE heavens declare the glory of God; * and the firmament showeth his handy-work.

2One day telleth another; * and one night certifieth another.

3There is neither speech nor language; * but their voices are heard among them.

4Their sound is gone out into all lands; * and their words into the ends of the world.

5In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun; * which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.

6It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; * and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7The law of the LORD is an undefiled law, converting the soul; * the testimony of the LORD is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple.

8The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.

9The fear of the LORD is clean, and endureth for ever; * the judgments of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.

10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; * sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb.

11Moreover, by them is thy servant taught; * and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12Who can tell how oft he offendeth? * O cleanse thou me from my secret faults.

13Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me; * so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence.

14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be alway acceptable in thy sight, * O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.
