Psalms 19 — DBY

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

19Verse 1The heavens declare the glory of^*God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.
^{Verse 2}Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
^{Verse 3}There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.
^{Verse 4}Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,
^{Verse 5}And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
^{Verse 6}His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
^{Verse 7}The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
^{Verse 8}The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
^{Verse 9}The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
^{Verse 10}They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
^{Verse 11}Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
^{Verse 12}Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
^{Verse 13}Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.
^{Verse 14}Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
