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 leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The heavens declare the glory of God; The firmament showeth forth the work of his hands.
2 Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
Day uttereth instruction unto day, And night showeth knowledge unto night.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
They have no speech nor language, And their voice is 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;
Yet their sound goeth forth to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:
Which cometh forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, And rejoiceth, like a strong man, 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.
He goeth forth from the extremity of heaven, And maketh his circuit to the end of it; And nothing is hid 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, reviving the soul; The precepts of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple;
8 The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandments of the LORD are pure, 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 clean, enduring for ever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.
More precious are they than gold; yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
By them also is thy servant warned, And in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
Who knoweth his own offences? Oh, cleanse thou me from secret faults!
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:
Keep back also thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be upright; I shall not be polluted with gross 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!
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer!
