Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 19 The Message (MSG)

A David Psalm

1-2. God’s glory is on tour in the skies,God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.Madame Day holds classes every morning,Professor Night lectures each evening.

3-4. Their words aren’t heard,their voices aren’t recorded,But their silence fills the earth:unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.

4-5. God makes a huge domefor the sun—a superdome!The morning sun’s a new husbandleaping from his honeymoon bed,The daybreaking sun an athleteracing to the tape.

6. That’s how God’s Word vaults across the skiesfrom sunrise to sunset,Melting ice, scorching deserts,warming hearts to faith.

7-9. The revelation of God is wholeand pulls our lives together.The signposts of God are clearand point out the right road.The life-maps of God are right,showing the way to joy.The directions of God are plainand easy on the eyes.God’s reputation is twenty-four-carat gold,with a lifetime guarantee.The decisions of God are accuratedown to the nth degree.

10. God’s Word is better than a diamond,better than a diamond set between emeralds.You’ll like it better than strawberries in spring,better than red, ripe strawberries.

11-14. There’s more: God’s Word warns us of dangerand directs us to hidden treasure.Otherwise how will we find our way?Or know when we play the fool?Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh!Keep me from stupid sins,from thinking I can take over your work;Then I can start this day sun-washed,scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.These are the words in my mouth;these are what I chew on and pray.Accept them when I place themon the morning altar,O God, my Altar-Rock,God, Priest-of-My-Altar.
