| Chapter 19 |
1 |
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. --
|
2 |
Day after day they pour forth speech, And night after night they display knowledge. --
|
3 |
There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. --
|
4 |
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, --
|
5 |
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. --
|
6 |
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, His circuit to the ends of it; There is nothing hid from the heat of it. --
|
7 |
The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple. --
|
8 |
The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. --
|
9 |
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh are true, and righteous altogether. --
|
10 |
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. --
|
11 |
Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward. --
|
12 |
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors. --
|
13 |
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright, I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. --
|
14 |
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. --
