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.

  1. Or “expanse.”

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;

  1. Or possibly, “measuring line.”

  2. Or “productive land.”

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.

  1. Or “restoring (bringing back) the soul.”

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.

  1. Or “refined.”

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

  1. Or “much transgression.”

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing to you, O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer.
