- Chapter 19 -

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies make his handiwork known!
2
Day after day speech pours out; night after night it reveals knowledge.
3
There is no speech or spoken words; their voice is not heard.
4
Yet their words go out over all the earth, and their speech to the end of the world. He has pitched a tent for the sun among them.
5
The sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and like a strong man who rejoices when he runs his race.
6
The sun rises from the one horizon and crosses the sky to the other; nothing escapes its heat.
7
The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Yahweh is reliable, making the simple wise.
8
The instructions of Yahweh are right, making the heart glad; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, bringing light to the eyes.
9
The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever; the righteous decrees of Yahweh are true and altogether right!
10
They are of greater value than gold, even more than much fine gold; they are sweeter than honey and the dripping honey from the honeycomb.
11
Yes, by them your servant is warned; in obeying them there is great reward.
12
Who can discern all his own errors? Cleanse me from hidden faults.
13
Keep your servant also from arrogant sins; let them not rule over me. Then I will be perfect, and I will be innocent from many transgressions.
14
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.

The heavens declare the glory of God

1
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2
Day after day they pour out 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 room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7
The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8
The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11
Moreover your servant is warned by them. 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, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
