• Psalm 19 (Tone III.4)
  

  The heavens declare the glo-ry of God, *
  and the firmament shows his hand-i-work.
  One day tells its tale to a-no-ther, *
  and one night imparts knowledge to a-no-ther.
  Although they have no words or lan-guage, *
  and their voices are not heard,
  Their sound has gone out in-to all lands, *
  and their message to the ends of the world.
  In the deep has he set a pa-vi-lion for the sun; *
  it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber /
  it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
  It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens
  and runs about to the end of it a-gain; *
  nothing is hidden from its burn-ing heat.
  The law of the LORD is perfect and re-vives the soul; *
  the testimony of the LORD is sure and gives wisdom to the in-no-cent. The statutes of the LORD are just and re-joice the heart; *
  the commandment of the LORD is clear and gives light to the eyes.
  The fear of the LORD is clean and en-dures for e-ver; *
  the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous al-to-ge-ther.
  More to be desired are they than gold / more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey / than ho-ney in the comb.
  By them also is your ser-vant en-light-ened, *
  and in keeping them there is great re-ward.
  Who can tell how of-ten he of-fends? *
  cleanse me from my se-cret faults.
  Above all keep your servant from presumptuous sins /
  let them not get do-mi-nion o-ver me; *
  then shall I be whole and sound and innocent of a great of-fense.
  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be ac-cept-a-ble in your sight, *
  O LORD, my strength and my re-dee-mer.
  Glory be to the Fa-ther and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
  As it was in the beginning is now and e-ver shall be,
  world without end. Amen.
