Psalms 19
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
The heavens declare the glory of El; and the firmameint sheweth his handywork.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest part of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
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,
5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
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.
7 Jehovah's Law is perfect, restoring the soul. Jehovah's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
The law of YHWH is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of YHWH is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Jehovah's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Jehovah's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The statutes of YHWH are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever. Jehovah's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
The fear of YHWH is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of YHWH are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
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.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight always, Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O YHWH, my strength, and my redeemer.
