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;
For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
2 Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not 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 voice is gone out into 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:
In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.
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 going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden 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 perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.
8 The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;
The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, 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 pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.
10 More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.
To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
11 Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
For your servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.
12 Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge you me from my secret [sins].
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 spare your servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.
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!
So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before you, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
