Psalms 19

1For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, And the firmament showeth His handiwork;

2Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night revealeth knowledge;

3There is no speech, there are no words, Neither is their voice heard.

4Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,

5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7The law of YHWH is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of YHWH is sure, making wise the simple.

8The precepts of YHWH are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9The fear of YHWH is clean, enduring for ever; The ordinances of YHWH are true, they are righteous altogether;

10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; In keeping of them there is great reward.

12Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.

13Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, That they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, And I shall be clear from great transgression.

14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O YHWH, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
