Psalms 19

Great(i) 1 To the chaunter, a psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy worcke. 2 One daye telleth another: & one nyght certifieth another. 3 There is nether speach ner language, but their voices ar heard among them. 4 Their sounde is gone out into all landes: & their wordes into the endes of the worlde. 5 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne, which commeth forth as a brydgrome out of hys chambre, and reioyseth as a giaunt to runne his course. 6 It goeth forth from the vttmost parte of the heauen, and runneth about vnto the ende of it agayne, & there is nothynge hyd from the heate therof. 7 The lawe of the Lord is an vndefylled lawe conuerting the soule. The testimony of the Lorde is sure, and geueth wisdome vnto the symple. 8 The statutes of the Lorde are right and reioyse the hert, the commaundement of the Lorde is pure, and geueth light vnto the eyes. 9 The feare of the Lorde is cleane, and endureth for euer: the iudgementes of the Lorde are true and ryghteous all together. 10 More to be desyred are they then golde, yee then moche fyne golde: sweter also then hony, and the hony combe. 11 Moreouer, by them is thy seruaunt taught, & in kepynge of them there is greate rewarde. 12 Who can tell, howe oft he offendeth? Oh clense thou me fro secrete fautes. 13 Kepe thy seruaunt also from presumptuous synnes, lest they get the dominion ouer me: so shall I be vndefyled, & innocent from the greate offence. 14 Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditacion of my herte be acceptable in thy syght O Lorde, my strength annd my redemer.
