Psalms - Chapter 19

¹ [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] The heavens declare the glory of God, the vault of heaven proclaims his handiwork,

² day discourses of it to day, night to night hands on the knowledge.

³ No utterance at all, no speech, not a sound to be heard,

⁴ but from the entire earth the design stands out, this message reaches the whole world. High above, he pitched a tent for the sun,

⁵ who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, delights like a champion in the course to be run.

⁶ Rising on the one horizon he runs his circuit to the other, and nothing can escape his heat.

⁷ The Law of Yahweh is perfect, refreshment to the soul; the decree of Yahweh is trustworthy, wisdom for the simple.

⁸ The precepts of Yahweh are honest, joy for the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, light for the eyes.

⁹ The fear of Yahweh is pure, lasting for ever; the judgements of Yahweh are true, upright, every one,

¹⁰ more desirable than gold, even than the finest gold; his words are sweeter than honey, that drips from the comb.

¹¹ Thus your servant is formed by them; observing them brings great reward.

¹² But who can detect his own failings? Wash away my hidden faults.

¹³ And from pride preserve your servant, never let it be my master. So shall I be above reproach, free from grave sin.

¹⁴ May the words of my mouth always find favour, and the whispering of my heart, in your presence, Yahweh, my rock, my redeemer.
