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 19
19
(For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)
1HaShomayim declare the kavod of G-d; and the raki'a (firmament) showeth His handiwork.
2 Yom unto yom uttereth speech, and lailah unto lailah showeth da'as.
3 There is no speech nor devarim (language), where their voice is not heard.
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,
5 Which is like a choson coming out of his chuppah, and rejoiceth as a gibbor to run a race.
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.
7 The torah of Hashem is temimah, converting the nefesh,#19:7 T.N. hithapekh Ps 66:6; 2C 5:17 the edut of Hashem is ne'emanah, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of Hashem are yasharim (right), rejoicing the lev; the mitzvat Hashem is bara (clear, pure), enlightening the eyes.
9 The yirat Hashem (fear of the L-rd) is tehorah (clean), enduring forever; the mishpatim of Hashem are emes and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than zahav, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than devash and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is Thy eved warned; and in being shomer over them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Cleanse Thou me from nistarot (secret ones).
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).
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).
