Psalm 19

Vulgate

   1 Magistro chori. PSALMUS. David.
   2 Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum.
   3 Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam.
   4 Non sunt loquelae neque sermones, quorum non intellegantur voces:
   5 in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.
   6 Soli posuit tabernaculum in eis, et ipse, tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo, exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam.
   7 A finibus caelorum egressio eius, et occursus eius usque ad fines eorum, nec est quod se abscondat a calore eius.
   8 Lex Domini immaculata, reficiens animam, testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam praestans parvulis.
   9 Iustitiae Domini rectae, laetificantes corda, praeceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.
   10 Timor Domini mundus, permanens in saeculum saeculi; iudicia Domini vera, iusta omnia simul,
   11 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum, et dulciora super mel et favum stillantem.
   12 Etenim servus tuus eruditur in eis; in custodiendis illis retributio multa.
   13 Errores quis intellegit? Ab occultis munda me
   14 et a superbia custodi servum tuum, ne dominetur mei, Tunc immaculatus ero et emundabor a delicto maximo.
   15 Sint ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo. Domine, adiutor meus et redemptor meus.

King James Version

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

   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.
