Psa 19:1 <To the chiefe musition, a psalme of Dauid.> The heauens declare the glorie of God: and the firmament sheweth his handy worke. Psa 19:2 A day occasioneth talke therof vnto a day: and a night teacheth knoweledge vnto a nyght. Psa 19:3 (19:3a) No language, no wordes, no voyce of theirs is hearde: Psa 19:4 (19:3b) yet their sounde goeth into all landes, and their wordes into the endes of the worlde. (19:4a) In them he hath set a tabernacle for the sunne: Psa 19:5 (19:4b) which commeth foorth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth as a giaunt to runne his course. Psa 19:6 (19:5) His settyng foorth is from the vtmost part of heauen, and his circuite vnto the vtmost part therof: and there is nothing hyd from his heat. Psa 19:7 (19:6) The lawe of God is perfect, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of God is sure, and geueth wisdome vnto the simple. Psa 19:8 (19:7) The statutes of God are right, and reioyce the heart: the commaundement of God is pure, and geueth light vnto the eyes. Psa 19:9 (19:8) The feare of God is sincere, & endureth for euer: the iudgementes of God are trueth, they be iust in all poyntes. Psa 19:10 (19:9) They are more to be desired then golde, yea then much fine golde: they are also sweeter then hony and the hony combe. Psa 19:11 (19:10) Moreouer, by them thy seruaunt is well aduertised: and in kepyng of them there is a great rewarde. Psa 19:12 (19:11) Who can knowe his owne errours? Oh cleanse thou me from those that I am not priuie of. Psa 19:13 (19:12) Kepe thy seruaunt also from presumptuous [sinnes] let them not raigne ouer me: so I shall be perfect & voyde from all haynous offence. Psa 19:14 (19:13) Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O God: my strength and my redeemer.
