1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 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 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

1 Vir die musiekleier. 'n Psalm van Dawid.2 Die hemele vertel die eer van God, en die uitspansel verkondig die werk van sy hande.3 Die een dag stort vir die ander 'n boodskap uit, en die een nag kondig vir die ander kennis aan:4 daar is geen spraak en daar is geen woorde nie -- onhoorbaar is hulle stem.5 Hulle meetsnoer gaan uit oor die hele aarde, en hulle woorde tot by die einde van die wêreld. Vir die son het Hy daarin 'n tent gemaak;6 en die is soos 'n bruidegom wat uitgaan uit sy slaapkamer; hy is bly soos 'n held om die pad te loop.7 Sy uitgang is van die einde van die hemel af, en sy omloop tot by die eindes daarvan, en niks is verborge vir sy hitte nie.8 Die wet van die HERE is volmaak: dit verkwik die siel; die getuienis van die HERE is gewis: dit gee wysheid aan die eenvoudige.9 Die bevele van die HERE is reg: hulle verbly die hart; die gebod van die HERE is suiwer: dit verlig die oë.10 Die vrees van die HERE is rein: dit bestaan tot in ewigheid; die verordeninge van die HERE is waarheid -- tesame is hulle regverdig.11 Hulle is begeerliker as goud, ja, as baie fyn goud; en soeter as heuning en heuningstroop.12 Ook word u kneg daardeur gewaarsku; in die onderhouding daarvan is groot loon.13 Die afdwalinge -- wie bemerk hulle? Spreek my vry van die wat verborge is.14 Hou u kneg ook terug van moedswillige sondes; laat dit nie oor my heers nie. Dan sal ek onbestraflik wees en vry van groot oortreding. [ (Psalms 19:15) Laat die woorde van my mond en die oordenking van my hart welbehaaglik wees voor u aangesig, o HERE, my rots en my verlosser! ]
