| Chapter 19 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of łGod; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands. --
|
2 |
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. --
|
3 |
There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard. --
|
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, --
|
5 |
And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race. --
|
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. --
|
7 |
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple; --
|
8 |
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes; --
|
9 |
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether: --
|
10 |
They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb. --
|
11 |
Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward. --
|
12 |
Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults]. --
|
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. --
|
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. --
