19:1 [For the music director. A Psalm of David.]
The heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their expanse declares the work of His hands.
19:2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their ①line has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
▷ ①Another reading is sound
19:5 Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.
19:6 Its rising is from ①one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the ②other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
▷ ①Lit the end ②Lit the ends
19:7 The Law of the LORD is ①perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
▷ ①I.e., blameless
19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.
19:10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much pure gold;
Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover, Your servant is warned by them;
In keeping them there is great reward.
19:12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
19:13 Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be innocent,
And I will be blameless of great wrongdoing.
19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
The heavens tell of the glory of God;
