Psalm 19 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of Ě

² Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

³ There is no speech, and there are no words, Their voice is not heard.

⁴ Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun,

⁵ And it is like a bridegroom coming out of his room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.

⁶ Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.

⁷ The Torah of יהוה  is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה  is trustworthy, making wise the simple;

⁸ The orders of יהוה  are straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of יהוה  is clear, enlightening the eyes;

⁹ The fear of יהוה  is clean, standing forever; The right-rulings of יהוה  are true, They are righteous altogether,

¹⁰ More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

¹¹ Also, Your servant is warned by them, In guarding them there is great reward.

¹² Who discerns mistakes? Declare me innocent from those that are secret,

¹³ Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me. Then shall I be perfect, and innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing before You, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer.
