1 The title of the nyntenthe salm. To victorie, the salm of Dauid.

2 The Lord here thee in the dai of tribulacioun; the name of God of Jacob defende thee.

3 Sende he helpe to thee fro the hooli place; and fro Syon defende he thee.

4 Be he myndeful of al thi sacrifice; and thi brent sacrifice be maad fat.

5 Yyue he to thee aftir thin herte; and conferme he al thi counsel.

6 We schulen be glad in thin helthe; and we schulen be magnyfied in the name of oure God.

8 Thes in charis, and these in horsis; but we schulen inwardli clepe in the name of oure Lord God.

9 Thei ben boundun, and felden doun; but we han rise, and ben reisid.

10 Lord, make thou saaf the kyng; and here thou vs in the dai in which we inwardli clepen 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.
