Sunday Night Teaching - Psalm 19 - The heavens, the written word and the living Word

Psalm 19 - Literal

1 The heavens continuously go over and over - again and again; rehearsing the glory of God the Creator and all of God's expanse keeps setting forth God's great handiwork in the heavens.

2 Day in and day out the heavens are continuously pouring forth, telling and prophesying;  and night and day the heavens continuously pour forth intelligent information.

3 There is no speaking forth, by way of the heavens, nor words, that they pour forth in all the earth that the words the heaven pour forth have not been heard.

4 The heavens allotted measurement [signs and zodiac] have gone over the created earth, and the teaching of the heavens have gone all over the inhabited earth. In them [in the heaven] hath He [God] 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 [Word of God] of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony [witness] 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 [respect] of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: 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 [observing them] there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his wonders? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins [men]; 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.
