Psalm 19:1-6

New International Version

Psalm 19^[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹The heavens^(A) declare^(B) the glory of God;^(C)
    the skies^(D) proclaim the work of his hands.^(E)
²Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.^(F)
³They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
⁴Yet their voice^[b] goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.^(G)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent^(H) for the sun.^(I)
⁵    It is like a bridegroom^(J) coming out of his chamber,^(K)
    like a champion^(L) rejoicing to run his course.
⁶It rises at one end of the heavens^(M)
    and makes its circuit to the other;^(N)
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

New International Version

²⁴How many are your works,^(A) Lord!
    In wisdom you made^(B) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.^(C)
²⁵There is the sea,^(D) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.^(E)
²⁶There the ships^(F) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,^(G) which you formed to frolic^(H) there.^(I)

²⁷All creatures look to you
    to give them their food^(J) at the proper time.
²⁸When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied^(K) with good things.
²⁹When you hide your face,^(L)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.^(M)
³⁰When you send your Spirit,^(N)
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹May the glory of the Lord^(O) endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works^(P)—
³²he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,^(Q)
who touches the mountains,^(R) and they smoke.^(S)
