Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 19

The heavens declare Your glory, O Lord,
the skies proclaim the work of Your hands.

Day after day, they pour out their message,
night after night, they reveal Your wisdom.

Without words, without a sound,
their voice reaches all the earth,
their beauty speaks to every heart.

You have set the sun in the heavens,
a radiant light that fills the sky,
rising with joy, running its course with strength,
spreading warmth to all the world.

Your guidance, O Lord, is perfect,
refreshing the soul.

Your wisdom is sure,
bringing joy to the heart.

Your teachings are pure,
enlightening the eyes.

Reverence for You, O Lord, endures forever.

Your ways are true and altogether good,
more precious than gold,
sweeter than honey from the comb.

O Lord, keep me close to Your ways,
help me walk in Your light.

Let my words and the meditations of my heart
be pleasing to You,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
