Chapter 19

To the chief Musician, A Mizmor of David.

1

THE heavens enumerate the glory of El; and the expanse shows his handywork.

2

Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge.

3

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a 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 Torah of Yahuah is perfect, restoring the soul: the testimony of Yahuah is sure, making wise the simple.

8

The statutes of Yahuah are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yahuah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9

The fear of Yahuah is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of Yahuah are true and righteous altogether.

10

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11

Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in guarding of them there is great reward.

12

Who can understand his errors? cleanse me from secret faults.

13

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O Yahuah, my strength, and my Redeemer.
