< Psalms 19 >

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ הַשָּׁמַיִם מְֽסַפְּרִים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו מַגִּיד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
יוֹם לְיוֹם יַבִּיעַֽ אֹמֶר וְלַיְלָה לְּלַיְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃
3 There is no speech nor language; their voice cannot be heard.
אֵֽין־אֹמֶר וְאֵין דְּבָרִים בְּלִי נִשְׁמָע קוֹלָֽם׃
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,
בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ ׀ יָצָא קַוָּם וּבִקְצֵה תֵבֵל מִלֵּיהֶם לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹהֶל בָּהֶֽם׃
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
וְהוּא כְּחָתָן יֹצֵא מֵחֻפָּתוֹ יָשִׂישׂ כְּגִבּוֹר לָרוּץ אֹֽרַח׃
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.
מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם ׀ מֽוֹצָאוֹ וּתְקוּפָתוֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָם וְאֵין נִסְתָּר מֵחַמָּתֽוֹ׃
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
תּוֹרַת יְהֹוָה תְּמִימָה מְשִׁיבַת נָפֶשׁ עֵדוּת יְהֹוָה נֶאֱמָנָה מַחְכִּימַת פֶּֽתִי׃
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
פִּקּוּדֵי יְהֹוָה יְשָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵב מִצְוַת יְהֹוָה בָּרָה מְאִירַת עֵינָֽיִם׃
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true, [and] righteous altogether.
יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה ׀ טְהוֹרָה עוֹמֶדֶת לָעַד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהֹוָה אֱמֶת צָֽדְקוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִים מִזָּהָב וּמִפַּז רָב וּמְתוּקִים מִדְּבַשׁ וְנֹפֶת צוּפִֽים׃
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: in keeping of them there is great reward.
גַּֽם־עַבְדְּךָ נִזְהָר בָּהֶם בְּשׇׁמְרָם עֵקֶב רָֽב׃
12 Who can discern [his] errors? clear thou me from hidden [faults].
שְׁגִיאוֹת מִֽי־יָבִין מִֽנִּסְתָּרוֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
גַּם מִזֵּדִים ׀ חֲשֹׂךְ עַבְדֶּךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִי אָז אֵיתָם וְנִקֵּיתִי מִפֶּשַֽׁע רָֽב׃
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
יִהְיֽוּ־לְרָצוֹן ׀ אִמְרֵי־פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃
