Read the chapter

1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. ✦ 2Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge. ✦ 3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. ✦ 4Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, ✦ 5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. ✦ 6His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat. ✦ 7Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple. ✦ 8Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. ✦ 9The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether. ✦ 10More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. ✦ 11Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward. ✦ 12Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors. ✦ 13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. ✦ 14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. ✦

Where this chapter connects

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 19 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
