19:1  (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid) HaShomayim declare the kavod of G-d; and the raki’a (firmament) showeth His handiwork.
19:2  Yom unto yom uttereth speech, and lailah unto lailah showeth da’as.
19:3  There is no speech nor devarim (language), where their voice is not heard.
19:4  Their measuring line is gone out through kol ha’aretz, and their words to the end of the tevel (world). In them hath He set an ohel for the shemesh,
19:5  Which is like a choson coming out of his chuppah, and rejoiceth as a gibbor to run a race.
19:6  Its going forth is from the end of HaShomayim, and its circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
19:7  The torah of Hashem is temimah (perfect), reviving the nefesh; the edut of Hashem is ne’emanah (sure), making wise the simple.
19:8  The precepts of Hashem are yasharim (right), rejoicing the lev; the mitzvat Hashem is bara (clear, pure), enlightening the eyes.
19:9  The yirat Hashem (fear of the L-rd) is tehorah (clean), enduring forever; the mishpatim of Hashem are emes and righteous altogether.
19:10  More to be desired are they than zahav, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than devash and the honeycomb.
19:11  Moreover by them is Thy eved warned; and in being shomer over them there is great reward.
19:12  Who can discern his errors? Cleanse Thou me from nistarot (secret ones).
19:13  Keep back Thy eved also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me; then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the peysha rav (great transgression).
19:14  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my lev, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Hashem, my Tzur (rock), and Go’ali (my Redeemer).
