Psalms 19

LEB(i) 1 For the music director. A psalm of David.*
The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands. 2 Every day* they pour forth speech, and every night* they tell knowledge. 3 There is no speech and there are no words; their sound is inaudible. 4 Yet in all the world their line* goes out, and their words to the end of the world. In them* he has pitched a tent for the sun, 5 and it is like a bridegroom who comes out of his bridal chamber. It is glad like a strong man to run its course. 6 Its rising is from one* end of the heavens and its circuit to the other end* of them; and nothing is hidden from its heat. 7 The law of Yahweh is perfect, reviving life.* The testimony of Yahweh is firm, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of Yahweh are right, making the heart rejoice. The command of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether, 10 more desirable than gold, even much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, even honey in the comb. 11 Moreover, your servant is warned* by them; in keeping them is great reward. 12 Who can perceive his errors? Acquit me from hidden faults. 13 Also, keep back your servant from arrogant sins;* let them not rule over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your presence, O Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.
