< תהילים 19 >

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ הַשָּׁמַיִם מְֽסַפְּרִים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו מַגִּיד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃ 1
The heavens declare the kavod ·weighty glory· of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
יוֹם לְיוֹם יַבִּיעַֽ אֹמֶר וְלַיְלָה לְּלַיְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃ 2
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
אֵֽין־אֹמֶר וְאֵין דְּבָרִים בְּלִי נִשְׁמָע קוֹלָֽם׃ 3
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.
בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ ׀ יָצָא קַוָּם וּבִקְצֵה תֵבֵל מִלֵּיהֶם לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹהֶל בָּהֶֽם׃ 4
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
וְהוּא כְּחָתָן יֹצֵא מֵחֻפָּתוֹ יָשִׂישׂ כְּגִבּוֹר לָרוּץ אֹֽרַח׃ 5
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם ׀ מֽוֹצָאוֹ וּתְקוּפָתוֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָם וְאֵין נִסְתָּר מֵֽחַמָּתוֹ׃ 6
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
תּוֹרַת יְהוָה תְּמִימָה מְשִׁיבַת נָפֶשׁ עֵדוּת יְהוָה נֶאֱמָנָה מַחְכִּימַת פֶּֽתִי׃ 7
Adonai’s Torah ·Teaching· is perfect, restoring the soul. Adonai’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
פִּקּוּדֵי יְהוָה יְשָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵב מִצְוַת יְהוָה בָּרָה מְאִירַת עֵינָֽיִם׃ 8
Adonai’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Adonai’s mitzvah ·instruction· is pure, enlightening the eyes.
יִרְאַת יְהוָה ׀ טְהוֹרָה עוֹמֶדֶת לָעַד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָה אֱמֶת צָֽדְקוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ 9
The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. Adonai’s judgments are true, and upright altogether.
הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִים מִזָּהָב וּמִפַּז רָב וּמְתוּקִים מִדְּבַשׁ וְנֹפֶת צוּפִֽים׃ 10
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
גַּֽם־עַבְדְּךָ נִזְהָר בָּהֶם בְּשָׁמְרָם עֵקֶב רָֽב׃ 11
Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
שְׁגִיאוֹת מִֽי־יָבִין מִֽנִּסְתָּרוֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃ 12
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
גַּם מִזֵּדִים ׀ חֲשֹׂךְ עַבְדֶּךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִי אָז אֵיתָם וְנִקֵּיתִי מִפֶּשַֽׁע רָֽב׃ 13
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
יִֽהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן ׀ אִמְרֵי־פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ יְהוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃ 14
Let the words of my mouth and the higgayon (meditation) of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Adonai, my rock, and my redeemer.
