Psalms 19
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring;
2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
[Yet] through all the earth, hath gone forth their voice, —and, to the end of the world, their sayings, —For the sun, hath he set up a tent therein;
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:
6 His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
From one end of the heavens, is his going forth, and, his circuit, to the other end thereof—and, nothing, is hid from his glowing heat.
7 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
The, law of Yahweh, is complete, Bringing back the soul, The, testimony of Yahweh, is confirmed, Making wise the simple;
8 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
The, reverence of Yahweh, is clean, Enduring evermore, —The, decisions of Yahweh, are faithful, They are righteous, altogether:
10 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.
11 For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
12 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
13 And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
Even from the presumptuous, keep back thy servant, May they not have dominion over me, Then, shall I be blameless, and shall be acquitted from great transgression:
14 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
The words of my mouth, and the soft utterance of my heart, shall come with acceptance, before thee, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer!
