Read the chapter

1The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. ✦ 2Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. ✦ 3They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. ✦ 4Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun. ✦ 5It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race. ✦ 6The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat. ✦ 7The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. ✦ 8The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. ✦ 9Reverence for the Lord is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. ✦ 10They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. ✦ 11They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. ✦ 12How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. ✦ 13Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. ✦ 14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. ✦

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.
