- Kapitel 19 -

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens [are] recounting the glory of God, || And the expanse [is] declaring the work of His hands.
2
Day to day utters speech, || And night to night shows knowledge.
3
There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been heard.
4
Their line has gone forth into all the earth, || And their sayings to the end of the world, || In them He placed a tent for the sun,
5
And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, || He rejoices as a mighty one || To run the path.
6
From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, || And his revolution [is] to their ends, || And nothing is hid from his heat.
7
The law of YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, || The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, || Making the simple wise,
8
The precepts of YHWH [are] upright, || Rejoicing the heart, || The command of YHWH [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
9
The fear of YHWH [is] clean, standing for all time, || The judgments of YHWH [are] true, || They have been righteous—together.
10
They are more desirable than gold, || Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, || Even liquid honey of the comb.
11
Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [is] a great reward.”
12
[His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,
13
Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, || Do not let them rule over me, || Then I am perfect, || And declared innocent of much transgression.
14
Let the sayings of my mouth, || And the meditation of my heart, || Be for a pleasing thing before You, || O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
4
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7
The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8
The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11
Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
12
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
