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