Encouragement

Psalm 19

The heavens declare the 

glory of God;

The skies proclaim the work

of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth

speech;

night after night they display

knowledge.

There is no speech or 

language

where their voice is not

heard.

Their voice goes out into all

the earth,

their words to the ends of 

the world.

In the heavens he has

pitched a tent for the sun,

which is like a bridegroom

coming forth from his

pavilion,

like a champion rejoicing to

run his course.

It rises at one end of the 

heavens 

and makes its circuit to the

other;

nothing is hidden from its

heat.

The law of the LORD is perfect,

reviving the soul.

The statues of the LORD are

trustworthy,

making wise the simple.

The precepts of the LORD are

right,

giving joy to the heart.

The commands of the LORD

are radiant,

giving light to the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is pure,

enduring forever.

The ordinances of the LORD

are sure

and altogether righteous.

They are more precious than gold,

than much pure gold;

they are sweeter than honey,

than honey from the comb.

By them is your servant warned;

in keeping them there is 

great reward.

Who can discern his errors?

Forgive my hidden faults.

Keep your servant also from

willfull sins;

may they not rule over me.

Then will I be blameless,

innocent of great

transgressions.

May the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my

heart

be pleasing in your sight, 

O LORD, my Rock and my

Redeemer.
