Text -- Psalms 19:1-8 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
Psalm 19
19:1 For the music director; a psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork. 19:2 Day after day it speaks out; night after night it reveals his greatness. 19:3 There is no actual speech or word, nor is its voice literally heard. 19:4 Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth; its words carry to the distant horizon. In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun. 19:5 Like a bridegroom it emerges from its chamber; like a strong man it enjoys running its course. 19:6 It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect and preserves one’s life. The rules set down by the Lord are reliable and impart wisdom to the inexperienced. 19:8 The Lord’s precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord’s commands are pure and give insight for life.
