←Prev   Psalms 19 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


19:1  For the music director. A psalm of David. The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
19:2  Every day they pour forth speech, and every night they tell knowledge.
19:3  There is no speech and there are no words; their sound is inaudible.
19:4  Yet in all the world their line goes out, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has pitched a tent for the sun,
19:5  and it is like a bridegroom who comes out of his bridal chamber. It is glad like a strong man to run its course.
19:6  Its rising is from one end of the heavens and its circuit to the other end of them; and nothing is hidden from its heat.
19:7  The law of Yahweh is perfect, reviving life. The testimony of Yahweh is firm, making wise the simple.
19:8  The precepts of Yahweh are right, making the heart rejoice. The command of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9  The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether,
19:10  more desirable than gold, even much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, even honey in the comb.
19:11  Moreover, your servant is warned by them; in keeping them is great reward.
19:12  Who can perceive his errors? Acquit me from hidden faults.
19:13  Also, keep back your servant from arrogant sins; let them not rule over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.
19:14  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your presence, O Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.
