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.

2 Day to day utters speech, And night to night shows knowledge.

3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been heard.

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,

5 And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.

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.

7 The law of YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, Making the simple wise,

8 The precepts of YHWH [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of YHWH [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,

9 The fear of YHWH [is] clean, standing for all time, The judgments of YHWH [are] true, They have been righteous—together.

10 They are more desirable than gold, Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

11 Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [is] a great reward.”

12 [His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,

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.

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!
