Psalms 19
1 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;
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands.
2 Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
Day proclaims the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard.
4 [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;
Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
5 And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:
He has placed his tabernacle in the sun, and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his bedroom. He has exulted like a giant running along the way;
6 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.
his departure is from the summit of heaven. And his course reaches all the way to its summit. Neither is there anyone who can hide himself from his heat.
7 The, law of Yahweh, is complete, Bringing back the soul, The, testimony of Yahweh, is confirmed, Making wise the simple;
The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, providing wisdom to little ones.
8 The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;
The justice of the Lord is right, rejoicing hearts. The precepts of the Lord are brilliant, enlightening the eyes.
9 The, reverence of Yahweh, is clean, Enduring evermore, —The, decisions of Yahweh, are faithful, They are righteous, altogether:
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for all generations. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves:
10 More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.
desirable beyond gold and many precious stones, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
For, indeed, your servant keeps them, and in keeping them, there are many rewards.
12 Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
Who can understand transgression? From my hidden faults, cleanse me, O Lord,
13 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:
and from those of others, spare your servant. If they will have no dominion over me, then I will be immaculate, and I will be cleansed from the greatest transgression.
14 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!
And the eloquence of my mouth will be so as to please, along with the meditation of my heart, in your sight, forever, O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
