Psalms 19

PSALM 19
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1The heav'ns God's glory do declare,
the skies his hand-works preach:
2Day utters speech to day, and night
to night doth knowledge teach.
3There is no speech nor tongue to which
their voice doth not extend:
4Their line is gone through all the earth,
their words to the world's end.
In them he set the sun a tent;
5Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes
From's chamber, as a strong man doth
to run his race rejoice.
6From heav'n's end is his going forth,
circling to th' end again;
And there is nothing from his heat
that hidden doth remain.
7God's law is perfect, and converts
the soul in sin that lies:
God's testimony is most sure,
and makes the simple wise.
8The statutes of the Lord are right,
and do rejoice the heart:
The Lord's command is pure, and doth
light to the eyes impart.
9Unspotted is the fear of God,
and doth endure for ever:
The judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
to be desired are:
Than honey, honey from the comb
that droppeth, sweeter far.
11Moreover, they thy servant warn
how he his life should frame:
A great reward provided is
for them that keep the same.
12Who can his errors understand?
O cleanse thou me within
13From secret faults. Thy servant keep
from all presumptuous sin:
And do not suffer them to have
dominion over me:
Then, righteous and innocent,
I from much sin shall be.
14The words which from my mouth proceed,
the thoughts sent from my heart,
Accept, O Lord, for thou my strength
and my Redeemer art.

Tehillim (Psalms) 19
19
1The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of Ěl; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hand.
2Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech, and there are no words, Their voice is not heard.
4Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun,
5And it is like a bridegroom coming out of his room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.
6Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.
7The Torah of יהוה is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה is trustworthy, making wise the simple;
8The orders of יהוה are straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of יהוה is clear, enlightening the eyes;
9The fear of יהוה is clean, standing forever; The right-rulings of יהוה are true, They are righteous altogether,
10More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11Also, Your servant is warned by them, In guarding them there is great reward.
12Who discerns mistakes? Declare me innocent from those that are secret,
13Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me. Then shall I be perfect, and innocent of great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing before You, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer.
