Psalms 18

1Unto the end. A Psalm for David.● 2The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.● 3Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.● 4There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.● 5Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.● 6He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he as a bridegroom coming out of his bridechamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:● 7His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.● 8The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.● 9The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.● 10The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.● 11More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.● 12For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.● 13Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:● 14And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed form the greatest sin.● 15And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper and my Redeemer.●
