| | Psalm 19 Caeli enarrant |
| 1 | The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork. |
| 2 | One day tells its tale to another, * and one night imparts knowledge to another. |
| 3 | Although they have no words or language, * and their voices are not heard, |
| 4 | Their sound has gone out into all lands, * and their message to the ends of the world. |
| 5 | In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; * it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course. |
| 6 | It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; * nothing is hidden from its burning heat. |
| 7 | The law of the LORD is perfect and revives the soul; * the testimony of the LORD is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent. |
| 8 | The statutes of the LORD are just and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the LORD is clear and gives light to the eyes. |
| 9 | The fear of the LORD is clean and endures for ever; * the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. |
| 10 | More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb. |
| 11 | By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward. |
| 12 | Who can tell how often he offends? * cleanse me from my secret faults. |
| 13 | Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense. |
| 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. |
