\u00a0Psalm 19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 19:1-14 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup> \u00a0The heavens declare the glory of God,<\/span> and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.<\/span>
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.<\/span>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.<\/span>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.<\/span> In them he has set a tent for the sun,
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 19: 7-13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 147:19-20 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel.<\/span> 20 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules.<\/span> Praise the LORD! <\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 119:105-106 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>105 <\/span><\/sup> \u00a0Your word is a lamp to my feet<\/span> and a light to my path.<\/span> 106 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We Speak Before God<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/b>With Humility and Honor<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Psalm 19:14 (ESV)
