Psalms 19 Comparison: New Heart English Bible vs King James Version
Psalms 19
1The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7The Lord's Law is perfect, restoring the soul. The Lord's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
8The Lord's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The Lord's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The Lord's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
12Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Lord, my rock, and my redeemer.
Psalms 19
1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
