Psalms 19
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens [are] recounting the glory of God, And the expanse [is] declaring the work of His hands.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ הַשָּׁמַיִם מְֽסַפְּרִים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו מַגִּיד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃ |
2 Day to day utters speech, And night to night shows knowledge.
| יוֹם לְיוֹם יַבִּיעַֽ אֹמֶר וְלַיְלָה לְּלַיְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃ |
3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been heard.
| אֵֽין־אֹמֶר וְאֵין דְּבָרִים בְּלִי נִשְׁמָע קוֹלָֽם׃ |
4 Their line has gone forth into all the earth, And their sayings to the end of the world, In them He placed a tent for the sun,
| בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ ׀ יָצָא קַוָּם וּבִקְצֵה תֵבֵל מִלֵּיהֶם לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹהֶל בָּהֶֽם׃ |
5 And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.
| וְהוּא כְּחָתָן יֹצֵא מֵחֻפָּתוֹ יָשִׂישׂ כְּגִבּוֹר לָרוּץ אֹֽרַח׃ |
6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] to their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
| מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם ׀ מֽוֹצָאוֹ וּתְקוּפָתוֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָם וְאֵין נִסְתָּר מֵֽחַמָּתוֹ׃ |
7 The law of YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, Making the simple wise,
| תּוֹרַת יְהוָה תְּמִימָה מְשִׁיבַת נָפֶשׁ עֵדוּת יְהוָה נֶאֱמָנָה מַחְכִּימַת פֶּֽתִי׃ |
8 The precepts of YHWH [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of YHWH [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
| פִּקּוּדֵי יְהוָה יְשָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵב מִצְוַת יְהוָה בָּרָה מְאִירַת עֵינָֽיִם׃ |
9 The fear of YHWH [is] clean, standing for all time, The judgments of YHWH [are] true, They have been righteous—together.
| יִרְאַת יְהוָה ׀ טְהוֹרָה עוֹמֶדֶת לָעַד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָה אֱמֶת צָֽדְקוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ |
10 They are more desirable than gold, Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
| הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִים מִזָּהָב וּמִפַּז רָב וּמְתוּקִים מִדְּבַשׁ וְנֹפֶת צוּפִֽים׃ |
11 Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [is] a great reward.”
| גַּֽם־עַבְדְּךָ נִזְהָר בָּהֶם בְּשָׁמְרָם עֵקֶב רָֽב׃ |
12 [His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,
| שְׁגִיאוֹת מִֽי־יָבִין מִֽנִּסְתָּרוֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃ |
13 Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me, Then I am perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression.
| גַּם מִזֵּדִים ׀ חֲשֹׂךְ עַבְדֶּךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִי אָז אֵיתָם וְנִקֵּיתִי מִפֶּשַֽׁע רָֽב׃ |
14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before You, O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!
| יִֽהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן ׀ אִמְרֵי־פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ יְהוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃ |
