Psalms 19

The Works and the Word of God.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1The 1heavensH8064 are tellingH5608 of the gloryH3519 of GodH410; And their 2expanseH7549 is declaringH5046 the workH4639 of His handsH3027.2DayH3117 to 3dayH3117 poursH5042 forthH5042 speechH561, And 4nightH3915 to nightH3915 revealsH2331 knowledgeH1847.3ThereH369 is noH369 speechH561, norH369 are thereH369 wordsH561; Their voiceH6963 is not heardH8085.4Their 56lineH6957 has goneH3318 out through allH3605 the earthH776, And their utterancesH4405 to the endH7097 of the worldH8398. In them He has 7placedH7760 a tentH168 for the sunH8121,5WhichH1931 is as a bridegroomH2860 comingH3318 out of his chamberH2646; It rejoicesH7797 as a strongH1368 manH1368 to runH7323 his courseH734.6Its 8risingH4161 is from 9one endH7097 of the heavensH8064, And its circuitH8622 to the 10other endH7098 of them; And thereH369 is nothingH369 hiddenH5641 from its heatH2535.

711The lawH8451 of the LordH3068 is 1213perfectH8549, 14restoringH7725 the soulH5315; The testimonyH5715 of the LordH3068 is 15sureH539, makingH2449 16wiseH2449 the simpleH6612.8The preceptsH6490 of the LordH3068 are 17rightH3477, 18rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820; The commandmentH4687 of the LordH3068 is 19pureH1249, 20enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.9The fearH3374 of the LordH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 foreverH5703; The judgmentsH4941 of the LordH3068 are 21trueH571; they are 22righteousH6663 altogetherH3164.10They are moreH4480 desirableH2530 thanH4480 23goldH2091, yes, thanH4480 muchH7227 fineH6337 goldH6337; 24SweeterH4966 also thanH4480 honeyH1706 and the drippingsH5317 of the honeycombH6688.11MoreoverH1571, by them 25Your servantH5650 is warnedH2094; In keepingH8104 them there is greatH7227 26rewardH6118.12WhoH4310 can 27discernH995 his errorsH7691? 28AcquitH5352 me of 29hiddenH5641 faults.13AlsoH1571 keepH2820 backH2820 Your servantH5650 30from presumptuousH2086 sins; Let them not 31ruleH4910 over me; ThenH227 I will be 3233blamelessH8552, And I shall be acquittedH5352 of 34greatH7227 transgressionH6588.14Let the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 and 35the meditationH1902 of my heartH3820 Be acceptableH7522 in Your sightH6440, O LordH3068, 36my rockH6697 and my 37RedeemerH1350.
