1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.

2 May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

3 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

4 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burntoffering be made fat.

5 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

6 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

7 The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord, our God.

9 They are bound, and have fallen: but we are risen, and are set upright.

10 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Psalm 19 cover?
Psalm 19 moves from creation to Scripture: the first half (vv.1-6) describes the heavens declaring God's glory, and the second half (vv.7-14) praises the perfection of God's law, ending with a prayer that 'the words of my mouth' be acceptable to him (v.14).
What does verse 1 mean by 'The heavens declare the glory of God'?
It opens the psalm's claim that creation itself testifies to God without words -- 'There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard' (v.3).
Why does the psalm switch from nature to the law of the LORD?
Verse 7 pivots from describing creation to describing Scripture, calling the law of the LORD 'perfect, converting the soul' and more desirable 'than gold, yea, than much fine gold' (v.10), treating both as revelations of God.
