Psalm 19 Prayed
Praising
God for revealing himself to us
The heavens declare your glory,
O God;
the
skies proclaim the work of your hands.
Day after day they pour forth
speech;
night
after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where
their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all
the earth,
their
words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens you have pitched
a tent for the sun,
which
is like a bridegroom coming forth
from
his pavilion,
like
a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the
heavens
and
makes its circuit to the other;
nothing
is hidden from its heat.
But greater still is Jesus, the
Living One,
for
he was dead,
and
behold he is alive for ever and ever!
For in his right hand he holds
seven stars,
and
out of his mouth
comes
a sharp double-edged sword.
His face is like the sun
shining in all its brilliance.
Your law, O Lord, is perfect,
reviving
the soul.
Your prophets, O Lord, are
trustworthy,
making
wise the simple.
Your Gospels, O Lord, are
right,
giving
joy to the heart.
Your New Testament letters, O
Lord, are radiant,
giving
light to the eyes.
But greater still is the Lord
Jesus,
for
he is the Word of God.
He was with you in the
beginning, O Father God.
Through
him all things were made.
Without him nothing was made,
that
has been made.
In him was life,
and
that life was the light of humanity.
The light shines in the
darkness,
but
the darkness has not understood it.
Reverence for you, O Lord, is
pure,
enduring
forever.
Your ordinances O Lord, are
sure,
both
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper,
altogether
display Christ’s righteousness.
They are more precious than
gold,
than
much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than
honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned;
in
keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern their errors?
Forgive
my hidden faults.
Keep your servant also from
wilful sins;
may
they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent
of great transgression.
May the words of my mouth
and
the meditation of my heart
be
pleasing in your sight,
O Lord Jesus, my
Rock and my Redeemer.
O LORD,
my Rock and my Redeemer.
