Psalm 19:14 read in its full chapter context. See the verses before and after, plus historical setting and flow of thought.
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer."
— Psalm 19:14 (KJV)
Where This Verse Sits
Psalm 19:14 appears in Psalms chapter 19, verse 14. David wrote this psalm celebrating God's revelation through creation (vv. 1-6) and Scripture (vv. 7-11), then moving to personal prayer (vv. 12-14). This final verse serves as a benediction, asking that both outward speech and inward thoughts honor God—covering the totality of human expression.
The Verse Itself
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer."
— Psalm 19:14 (KJV)
Flow of the Passage
To grasp Psalm 19:14 fully, read it inside the surrounding paragraph. The verses before set up the argument, and the verses after show its outworking. Psalms 19 as a whole carries forward the theme of prayer, and this single verse is one beat in that larger movement.
David prays that both his speech and his thoughts would please God. True transformation starts in the heart and flows outward through words and actions.
