Psalms 19

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, || And the expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 2 Day to day utters speech, || And night to night shows knowledge. 3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been heard. 4 Their line has gone out into all the earth, || And their sayings to the end of the world, || In them He placed a tent for the sun, 5 And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, || He rejoices as a mighty one || To run the path. 6 From the end of the heavens is his going out, || And his revolution is to their ends, || And nothing is hid from his heat. 7 The law of YHWH is perfect, refreshing the soul, || The testimonies of YHWH are steadfast, || Making the simple wise, 8 The precepts of YHWH are upright, || Rejoicing the heart, || The command of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes, 9 The fear of YHWH is clean, standing to a distant age, || The judgments of YHWH are true, || They have been righteous—together. 10 They are more desirable than gold, || Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, || Even liquid honey of the comb. 11 Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them is a great reward.” 12 His errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones, 13 Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, || Do not let them rule over me, || Then I am perfect, || And declared innocent of much transgression. 14 Let the sayings of my mouth, || And the meditation of my heart, || Be for a pleasing thing before You, || O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!
