Psalms 19
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;
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 unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;
Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
3 There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.
There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,
[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 is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat 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 law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The, law of Yahweh, is complete, Bringing back the soul, The, testimony of Yahweh, is confirmed, Making wise the simple;
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, 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 clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;
The, reverence of Yahweh, is clean, Enduring evermore, —The, decisions of Yahweh, are faithful, They are righteous, altogether:
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also 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 Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; 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 discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.
Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
13 Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
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 words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, 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!
