Psalm
Psalm, 19
To the director. A melody of David.
1 The heavens are declaring the glory of God; The skies above*1 proclaim the work of his hands.
|
2 Day after day their speech bubbles forth, And night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words; Their voice is not heard.
4 But into all the earth their sound*1 has gone out, And to the ends of the inhabited earth*2 their message. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun;
|
5 It is like a bridegroom emerging from the bridal chamber; It rejoices like a mighty man running his course.
6 It emerges from one end of the heavens, And it circles to their other end; And nothing is concealed from its heat.
7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring strength.*1 The reminder of Jehovah is trustworthy, making the inexperienced one wise.
|
8 The orders from Jehovah are righteous, causing the heart to rejoice; The commandment of Jehovah is clean, making the eyes shine.
9 The fear of Jehovah is pure, lasting forever. The judgments of Jehovah are true, altogether righteous.
10 They are more desirable than gold, Than much fine*1 gold, And sweeter than honey, the honey that drips from the combs.
|
11 By them your servant has been warned; In keeping them, there is a large reward.
12 Who can discern mistakes? Pronounce me innocent from sins I am unaware of.
13 And hold your servant back from presumptuous acts; Do not let them dominate me. Then I will be complete, And innocent of blatant sins.*1
|
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing to you, O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer.
