Psalm 19 - Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

¹ To the overseer; chanting of David. The heavens recounting the glory of God, and the firmament announcing the work of his hands.

² Day to day will gush out the saying, and night to night will breathe out knowledge.

³ No saying and no words without their voice being heard.

⁴ Their line went forth into all the earth, and their words into the ends of the habitable globe. In them he set a tent for the sun.

⁵ And he as a bridegroom coming forth from his nuptial couch, will rejoice as a strong one to run a way.

⁶ From the extremity of the heavens his going forth and his circuits upon their extremities and no hiding from his heat.

⁷ The law of Jehovah is blameless, turning back the soul; the testimonies of Jehovah being faithful, making wise the simple.

⁸ The mandates of Jehovah are straight, rejoicing the heart: the command of Jehovah pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹ The fear of Jehovah being pure, standing forever: the judgments of Jehovah, truth, they were altogether just

¹⁰ Being desirable above gold, and above much pure gold, and being sweet above honey, and the dropping of honey-combs.

¹¹ Also thy servant being admonished by them: in watching them much reward.

¹² Who will understand errors? acquit me from hidden things.

¹³ Also withhold thy servant from arrogant things; they shall not rule over me: then shall I be blameless, and I was acquitted from much transgression.

¹⁴ The saying of my mouth and the meditation of my heart shall be for acceptance before thee, O Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.
