Psalms 19

(CLV) Psalms 19

A Davidic Psalm

1 The heavens are recounting the glory of El, And the atmosphere is telling the work of His hands. 2 Day after day is uttering a saying, And night after night is disclosing knowledge. 3 There is no audible saying, and there are no words; Their voice is unheard. 4 Yet into the entire earth their voice goes forth, And into the ends of the habitance their declarations. For the sun, He has placed a tent in them, 5 So it is like a bridegroom going forth from his canopy; It is elated like a master, to run its path. 6 From the end of the heavens is its going forth, And its circling around goes on to their ends, So that nothing is being concealed from its warm penetration. 7 The law of Yahweh is flawless, restoring the soul; The testimony of Yahweh is faithful, making wise the simple; 8 The precepts of Yahweh are upright, rejoicing the heart; The instruction of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of Yahweh is clean, standing unto the future; The judgments of Yahweh are truth; they are righteous altogether: 10 Coveted more than gold, and more than much glittering gold, And sweeter than honey and drips of the combs. 11 Moreover, Your servant is being warned by them; In the keeping of them is a great consequence. 12 Who can detect inadvertent errors? From those concealed to me, hold me innocent. 13 Moreover, keep back Your servant from arrogancies; Let them not rule over me. Then I shall be flawless, And I will be innocent of great transgression. 14 May the sayings of my mouth be acceptable And the soliloquy of my heart be pleasing before You, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer!
