Psalms 19
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth ye worke of his hands.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 Day vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.
Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.
3 There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.
There is no speech nor language in which their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone forth through all the earth, and their words into the endes of the world: in them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne.
Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 His going out is from the ende of the heauen, and his compasse is vnto the endes of ye same, and none is hid from the heate thereof.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit to the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat of it.
7 The Lawe of the Lord is perfite, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the Lord is sure, and giueth wisedome vnto the simple.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making a simple man wise.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right and reioyce the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giueth light vnto the eyes.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The feare of the Lord is cleane, and indureth for euer: the iudgements of the Lord are trueth: they are righteous altogether,
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
10 And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Moreover by them thy servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.
Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.
13 Keepe thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes: let them not reigne ouer me: so shall I be vpright, and made cleane from much wickednes.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be upright, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
14 Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
