The Heavens and This Beautiful Version of Psalm 19 Declare the Glory of God

Every sunrise, ever starlit night—they all prove the magnificence of our great God. And this incredible version of Psalm 19 captures our awestruck wonder perfectly!

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork*. 

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 

3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 

4 Their 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, 

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 

6 His 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. 

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb*. 

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 

13 Keep 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. 

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Read Stephanie Englehart's "How Do the Heavens Declare the Glory of God?" at Crosswalk.com: 

"The heavens declare the glory of God, but what exactly is God’s glory? It is a theological term that is needed to fully grasp the gospel and our purpose in life, but even some of the best scholars and pastors in the world tell us their definition pales in comparison to all that God’s glory really is. The English dictionary defines glory as magnificent, beautiful, and of high renown—all things that God is. However, God is not simply beautiful, He is supremely beautiful, magnificent above all else, and the highest renown. Splashed across every page of the Bible we see God’s glory come to life."
