Psalm 19. Caeli enarrant.

1. The heavens declare the glory of God, *
   and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2. One day tells its tale to another, *
   and one night imparts knowledge to another.
3. Although they have no words or language, *
   and their voices are not heard,
4. Their sound has gone out into all lands, *
   and their message to the ends of the world.
5. In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *
   it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
6. It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; *
   nothing is hidden from its burning heat.
7. The law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; *
   the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent.
8. The statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; *
   the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes.
9. The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; *
   the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10. More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, *
    sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb.
11. By them also is your servant enlightened, *
    and in keeping them there is great reward.
12. Who can tell how often he offends? *
    cleanse me from my secret faults.
13. Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; *
    then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense.
14. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, *
    O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
