Psalms 19
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
2 Ref Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.
3 Ref There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.
4 Ref 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,
5 Ref Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
6 Ref His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 Ref The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Ref The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Ref The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, `and' righteous altogether.
