Psalms 19

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

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 sheweth knowledge.

Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.

3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not 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 tabernacle 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 a race.

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, converting 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 statutes 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 judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] 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: [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 understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].

Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins; ] let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the 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 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!
