Psalms 19
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.
2 Ref Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.
3 Ref There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.
4 Ref Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,
5 Ref Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.
6 Ref His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.
7 Ref The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.
8 Ref The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.
9 Ref The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.
