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.

Psalms 19
19
Glory from Heaven and Torah
1For the music director, a psalm of David.
2The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky shows His handiwork.
3Day to day they speak, night to night they reveal knowledge.
4There is no speech, no words, where their voice goes unheard.
5Their voice has gone out to all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens He pitched a tent for the sun.
6It is like a bridegroom coming out of his bridal chamber. It is like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
7It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other end. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
8The Torah of Adonai is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Adonai is trustworthy, making the simple wise.
9The precepts of Adonai are right, giving joy to the heart. The mitzvot of Adonai are pure, giving light to the eyes.
10The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Adonai are true and altogether righteous.
11They are more desirable than gold, yes, more than much pure gold! They are sweeter than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
12Moreover by them Your servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
13Who can discern his errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults.
14Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have dominion over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression.
15May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, Adonai, my Rock and my Redeemer.
