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
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David.
1The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
2Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
3There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
4Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
5And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
6From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
7The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
8The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
9The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous — together.
10They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
11Also — Thy servant is warned by them, ‘In keeping them [is] a great reward.’
12Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,
13Also — from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,
14Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
