{{LinkText|Psalm 19}}
Behold, the lofty sky
Declares its maker God,
And all His starry works on high
Proclaim His power abroad.
 
The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach His name.
 
In every different land
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of His hand,
And orders of His throne.
 
His statutes and commands
Are set before our eyes;
He puts His gospel in our hands,
Where our salvation lies.
 
His laws are just and pure,
His truth without deceit,
His promises for ever sure,
And his rewards are great.
 
While of Thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King
In my Redeemer's name.
