Psalm 19

THE glory of the mighty God
the Heavens do declare,
His handy-works the Firmament
shews forth, and what they are.
One day unto another speech
utters insensibly,
One night unto another shews
knowledge of God most high.

There is no language, tongue, nor speech
where their voice doth not found;
Their line, and well directed course
through all the world goes round;
And to the utmost ends of th' earth
their words and speech are heard,
In them he hath for the bright Sun
a glorious tent prepar'd.

He comes out of his chamber like
a bridegroom richly clad,
And his swift course each day to run
like a strong man is glad.
He goes forth from the end of Heav'n,
and round it compasseth,
Nothing is hidden but his heat
and light discovereth.

Gods law is perfect, and converts
and makes the soul to live,
His testimony sure, and doth
the simple wisdome give.
The statutes of the Lord are right,
and joy the heart and minde;
Gods precept pure, and giveth light
to those that else are blinde.

The precepts of the Lord are clean,
and still endure they shall;
The judgements of the Lord are true,
and righteous are they all.
Then pure gold, yea then much fine gold,
they are more precious,
Then hony and the hony-comb
much more delicious.

Thy servant by them warned, hath
to his ways more regard,
In keeping and observing them
there shall be great reward.
What man the errours of his ways,
can fully understand?
Cleanse me from secret trespasses
against thy just command.

And keep me that presumptuous sins
prevail not over me,
So I upright and innocent
from the great sin shall be.
The words which I speak with my mouth,
and thoughts within my heart,
Accept, O Lord, for thou my rock
and my redeemer art.
