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.
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 vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.
Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
3 There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.
There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
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.
[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 Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.
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 ende of the heauen, and his compasse is vnto the endes of ye same, and none is hid from the heate thereof.
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 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 Yahweh, is complete, Bringing back the soul, The, testimony of Yahweh, is confirmed, 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 Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, 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, reverence of Yahweh, is clean, Enduring evermore, —The, decisions of Yahweh, are faithful, They are righteous, altogether:
10 And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.
More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.
11 Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
12 Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.
Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
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.
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 Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, 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!
