Psalm 19 :: New Living Translation (NLT)



The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display your craftsmanship Lord.


Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.


They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.


Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
God you have made a home in the heavens for the sun.


It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.


The sun rises at one end of the heavens
and follows its course to the other end
Nothing can hide from its heat.


Lord, your instructions are perfect,
reviving the soul.
Lord, your decrees are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.


Lord, your commandments are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
God your commands are clear,
giving insight for living.


My Reverence for you LORD is pure,
lasting forever.
Lord, your laws are true;
each one is fair.


They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.


They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.


How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.


Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.


May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer
