Psalms 19

1For the music director, a psalm of David.

2The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky shows His handiwork.

3Day to day they speak, night to night they reveal knowledge.

4There is no speech, no words, where their voice goes unheard.

5Their voice has gone out to all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens He pitched a tent for the sun.

6It is like a bridegroom coming out of his bridal chamber. It is like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

7It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other end. Nothing is hidden from its heat.

8The Torah of Adonai is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Adonai is trustworthy, making the simple wise.

9The precepts of Adonai are right, giving joy to the heart. The mitzvot of Adonai are pure, giving light to the eyes.

10The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Adonai are true and altogether righteous.

11They are more desirable than gold, yes, more than much pure gold! They are sweeter than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

12Moreover by them Your servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

13Who can discern his errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults.

14Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have dominion over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression.

15May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, Adonai, my Rock and my Redeemer.
