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.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2 Day vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.
Without speech or language, without a sound to be 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 voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing 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.
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
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 the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
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 the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to 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 the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
10 And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
12 Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.
Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my 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 Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of 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.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
