Psalms 19
Open in the reader1Unto the End. A Psalm of Beloved.
2The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
3Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
4Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
5their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
6Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
7it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
8The Teaching of He-Who-Is is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of He-Who-Is is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
9The precepts of He-Who-Is are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of He-Who-Is are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
10The fear of He-Who-Is is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of He-Who-Is are true, being altogether righteous.
11They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
12By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
13Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
14Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
15May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O He-Who-Is, my Rock and my Redeemer.
