Psalm 19 - NKJV
Creation Praises God. Do You?
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The Law of the Lord
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony 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 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 Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Secret Sins
12 Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
The Meditation of my Heart
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.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

All Creation Declares His Glory
Part 1 - All of Creation
Part 2 - The Law of the Lord
Part 3 - Secret Sins
Part 4 - Meditation of My Heart
There are lots of things to think about here today. David said, "My meditation of him shall be sweet." (Psalms 104:34)
That's the way I feel when I read such a rich Psalm as this.
The Psalms help me meditate on the Lord. I muse on the Lord.
Psalms 143:5 "I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands."
The Law of the Lord.
I love this passage. It is a great portion to memorize. Read it. Read it outloud. Break it into line after line.
Type it out on a sheet of paper, or write it out on a 3x5 card. Every day read it over. Thend carry it with you and
read it every time you go to the bathroom. Let it bathe you. Let it wash over you. The LAW OF THE LORD, the Word of
the Lord cleanses us.
Jesus said, "Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you." (John 15:3)
Paul said, "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word," (Ephesians 5:26)
