Psalm Chapter 19 Back NextPsalm 19 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by
David.
{19:1} The
heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
{19:2} Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
{19:3} There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
{19:4} Their voice has gone out through all the
earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
{19:5} which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
{19:6} His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his
circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
{19:7} Yahweh's
law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
{19:8} Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the
heart. Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
{19:9} The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
{19:10} More to be desired are they than
gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than
honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
{19:11} Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
{19:12} Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
{19:13} Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
{19:14} Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
