Psalms 19

PSALM 19

The Heavens Describe the Glory of God

For the director; a psalm to David.

1 The heavens describe the glory of God, [⁵the making ¹and ⁶of his hands ⁴announces ²the ³firmament]. 2 Day to day bubbles up a saying; and night unto night announces knowledge. 3 There are no speeches nor words which [²are not ³heard ¹their voices]. 4 Into all the earth went forth their knell; and unto the ends of the inhabitable world their words. [³in ⁴the ⁵sun ¹He put ²his tent]. 5 And he, as a groom going forth from out of his nuptial chamber, shall exult as a giant running a journey. 6 From one tip of heaven is his exiting, and his arrival unto the other tip of heaven; and there is not one who shall be concealed from his heat. 7 The law of the lord is unblemished, turning souls. The witness of the lord is trustworthy, making wise the infants. 8 The ordinances of the lord are straight, making glad the heart. The commandment of the lord is radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the lord is pure, abiding into the eon of the eon. The judgments of the lord are true, doing justice to the same; 10 desirable above gold, and [³stone ²precious ¹much], and sweeter above honey and the honeycomb. 11 For also your servant guards them; in the guarding of them [²reward ¹there is great]. 12 [³his transgressions ¹Who ²shall perceive]? From out of my private transgressions cleanse me! 13 And from the aliens spare your servant! If they should not dominate me, then I will be unblemished, and I shall be cleansed of [²sin ¹great]. 14 And [⁴will be ⁵for ⁶benevolence ¹the ²oracles ³of my mouth], and the meditation of my heart before you always, O lord, my helper and the one ransoming me.
