Psalms 19
[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.

Psalms 20
[1] The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob
defend thee;
[2] Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; [3]
Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. [4]
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. [5] We
will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up
our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. [6] Now know I that the
LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the
saving strength of his right hand. [7] Some trust in chariots, and some in
horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
[8] They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
[9] Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Psalms 21
[1] The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how
greatly shall he rejoice!
[2] Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the
request of his lips. Selah.
[3] For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a
crown of pure gold on his head.
[4] He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for
ever and ever.
[5] His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
[6] For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him
exceeding glad with thy countenance. [7] For the king trusteth in the LORD,
and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
[8] Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find
out those that hate thee.
[9] Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the
LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
[10] Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from
among the children of men.
[11] For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous
device, which they are not able to perform. [12] Therefore shalt thou make
them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy
strings against the face of them. [13] Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own
strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
