Psalm 19

Common English Bible CEB

1 Heaven is declaring God's glory; the sky is proclaiming his handiwork.

2 One day gushes the news to the next, and one night informs another what needs to be known.

3 Of course, there's no speech, no words— their voices can't be heard—

4 but their sound extends throughout the world; their words reach the ends of the earth. God has made a tent in heaven for the sun.

5 The sun is like a groom coming out of his honeymoon suite; like a warrior, it thrills at running its course.

6 It rises in one end of the sky; its circuit is complete at the other. Nothing escapes its heat.

7 The LORD's Instruction is perfect, reviving one's very being. The LORD's laws are faithful, making naive people wise.

8 The LORD's regulations are right, gladdening the heart. The LORD's commands are pure, giving light to the eyes.

9 Honoring the LORD is correct, lasting forever. The LORD's judgments are true. All of these are righteous!

10 They are more desirable than gold— than tons of pure gold! They are sweeter than honey— even dripping off the honeycomb!

11 No doubt about it: your servant is enlightened by them; there is great reward in keeping them.

12 But can anyone know what they've accidentally done wrong? Clear me of any unknown sin

13 and save your servant from willful sins. Don't let them rule me. Then I'll be completely blameless; I'll be innocent of great wrongdoing.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.

2 Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening.

3 Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded,

4 But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. God makes a huge dome for the sun - a superdome!

5 The morning sun's a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun an athlete racing to the tape.

6 That's how God's Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice, scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith.

7 The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road.

8 The life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes.

9 God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold, with a lifetime guarantee. The decisions of God are accurate down to the nth degree.

10 God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries.

11 There's more: God's Word warns us of danger and directs us to hidden treasure.

12 Otherwise how will we find our way? Or know when we play the fool?

13 Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh! Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take over your work; Then I can start this day sun-washed, scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.

14 These are the words in my mouth; these are what I chew on and pray. Accept them when I place them on the morning altar, O God, my Altar-Rock, God, Priest-of-My-Altar.
