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 Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words, —Unheard is their voice!
There is no speech nor language; their voice cannot be 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 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 And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as 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.
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 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, restoring the soul: the testimony of the LORD is 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 precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is 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 to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
Who can discern [his] errors? clear thou me from hidden [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 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.
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!
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
